 Ridgway Chainsaw Carving Rendezvous
April 26-28, 2018

Eighteen years ago, the Ridgway Chainsaw
Carvers Rendezvous set out to share with world the art of chainsaw carving. Now it’s time to take the art form to the next level; it’s time to give the public an art show!
Throughout the three days will be opportunities for interaction with skilled artists, to watch carving demonstrations, purchase finished pieces directly from the artist, and bid on quick carve pieces.
Carvers this year  will bring with them finished pieces to show and sell during the three day                                                                    event at the Rendezvous.
