TW We’ll see you there! Watch chainsaw artists turn wood into art. Once again, Husqvarna will be sponsoring the popular chain- saw carving event, which will take place in the demonstration area of the fairgrounds. This year’s top carvers include Jay Peppard and Ryan Anderson. Jay Peppard Jay lives is Vida, Oregon, and is a semi-pro wood carver with three-and-a-half years of experience. He participates in the McKenzie River Chainsaw Art Festival, where he sometimes carves with his father, Mark Peppard. Jay carves Bigfoot, fish, bears, birds, bees, and other animals out of local cedar on the McKenzie River in southern Oregon. His chainsaw carvings can be seen along the McKenzie, at the McKenzie Feed & Pet Supply (on Main St. in Springfield), and annually at the Chainsaw Art Festival up in Blue River. You may also have seen Jay’s Bigfoot and bear featured at the Blue Sky Market or his giant bee at the McKenzie Lavender farm. Ryan Anderson Ryan started his chainsaw carving career in June of 2005 after being apprenticed by Tracie Brittenfeld of Packwood, Washington. Since that time, Ryan has been competing and receiving awards throughout the country. He has also participated in international competitions. While representing America in Europe at the English Open, Ryan took both second and third place, and he has traveled to competitions in Scotland and Canada. Think you may have seen Ryan on television? You’re right. He was a highlighted carver in Sawdogs, a Discovery Channel reality show about chainsaw carvers. Come watch these artists create magic with a chainsaw at the 80th OLC.
