Stories from the Wood.

I believe the reason that people across the country seek out my work goes beyond my experience as a chainsaw sculptor. I am deeply interested in people and preserving their stories and I think they are at ease sharing details of their lives with me. I am then able to translate those details into enduring legacies. For me, being able to take a 20ft solid oak stump and make it dance and breathe with the chapters of their story is an honor.

 

“I see myself as a preservationist, preserving people’s stories in nature.”

-Josh Landry, Chainsaw Sculptor

“Maine is our most forested state. As a chainsaw sculptor, there was no better place to hone my craft.”

Carving a story for the Kings of Storytelling.

“There was a dead ash tree in our front yard. My wife Tabitha had an idea to turn it into a sculpture featuring books and animals.” -Stephen King, Author

“Finally, we found Josh…he was very responsive to my ideas. I think I will leave the sculpture to speak for itself.” - Tabitha King, Author
