Your tree deserves a second life.
Storm-damaged trunk, dying stump, or a log you could not bear to split. It becomes a wildlife piece, a portrait of your dog, or a face in the woods that outlives all of us.

About Grant
Twenty years, one chainsaw, and a lot of sawdust
Grant has been carving since he picked up his first saw as a teenager on his family land. What started as clearing storm damage turned into a habit, then a craft, then a business.
Every piece is cut freehand — no molds, no CNC, no two alike. He works mostly in white pine, cedar, and oak, then finishes each carving with a penetrating oil and UV-resistant sealer so it holds up to real weather.
If you have a tree that has to come down, get in touch before the crew takes the stump. The best carvings almost always start as somebody else's problem.
