Chainsaw Carving Championship
Kootenai Country Montana
September 23, 2019

Kootenai Country Montana presented its third annual International Chainsaw Carving Championship with 22 of the world's top carvers in Libby over the weekend of Sept. 12-15. Incredible talent was on display over the four days as the carvers worked their chainsaw magic on large log lengths for their main judged pieces, as well as four quick carves throughout the weekend. It was another amazing weekend of artistic vision and craftsmanship. Pictured are Sunday's finished carvings and quick carves in the making.
