Description
In the small town of Scandinavia, Wisconsin, amidst the warmth of the August Corn Roast event, I found myself captivated by the rhythmic buzz of Dan Hartley's chainsaw. Positioned near a massive log, Dan worked his magic, transforming the ordinary wood into a masterpiece. The challenge of wielding a chainsaw to sculpt art seemed daunting, yet Dan's precise strokes revealed a vision coming to life. Two bears emerged — one engrossed in a book, the other watching with keen eyes. The scent of freshly carved wood lingered in the air as onlookers marveled at Dan's skill. The creative woodworking techniques were evident in every detail. The bears' fur, the book's pages, each intricacy spoke of dedication and talent. Prices for such unique carvings may range, but that afternoon, the true value was in witnessing the birth of art from a roaring chainsaw. Transforming the photo into an abstract image was much in keeping with the chain etched art itself, transforming Dan into his own artwork.
