Chainsaw art began in the 1950s but really came into its own as an art form in the 1980s, when Art Moe showed off his carving skills at the nationally televised Lumberjack World Championships.
Since then many chainsaw carvers have stepped up to the trunk in an attempt to prove they're a cut above the rest, but when it comes to subject matter most of them lack any sort of range.
That's what makes Simon O'Rourke a real ace in my book- he carves out cool sculptures both traditional and fantastic, creating realistic sculptures of animals, angels, wizards, faeries and the occasional 'toon.
Simon has even been known to carve a sculpture into the side of a tree or two, turning the forest into an art gallery frequented mainly by birds and squirrels.
