Bear Chainsaw Art – Sitting Bear
This charming example of bear chainsaw art features a cuddly sitting bear carved from a quarter log, full of warmth, personality and unmistakable character. With its rounded shape and irresistible expression, it’s a sculpture that instantly draws attention and melts hearts. Whether placed in a garden, on a patio or by a doorstep, this bear brings a friendly and welcoming presence to any outdoor space. How long can you last before giving in to those eyes?
Each piece of bear chainsaw art is individually hand-carved by Jonny at his workshop in Falkirk, Scotland, ensuring that no two bears are ever exactly the same. Subtle differences in stance, expression and grain give every sculpture its own identity, shaped by both the timber and the carving process. Carved from a quarter log, the bear has a solid, balanced form that works beautifully as a standalone feature.
With over 25 years of experience working with chainsaws, Jonny brings a deep understanding of wood, form and technique to every carving. His background in forestry and arboriculture informs how each log is selected and worked, allowing the natural qualities of the wood to guide the final shape. Working primarily with green wood enables bold forms and expressive detail, while embracing the natural movement of the timber as it dries. Small cracks may appear over time, which is a natural part of the process and adds to the individuality of each piece.
Designed to be enjoyed outdoors, this bear chainsaw art sculpture combines skilled craftsmanship with light-hearted charm. Handcrafted in Scotland, it’s a thoughtful addition to any outdoor setting and a distinctive example of Jonny’s chainsaw carving work.
