ROBBIN WENZOSKIRRobbin was born in Golden, British Columbia and whether it was working in

plywood plants, auto body shops or building log homes, Robbin has always

worked with his hands. Moving to Ontario in the late 1980’s, Robbin contin-

ued to work around wood in both construction and carpentry. Over the past

few years Robbin has become a master carver whose work has received

national recognition. His focus has been chainsaw carving tree trunks, fine

sculpture and performing live demonstrations. Robbin’s future plans include

operating a carving school in operating a carving school in Western Canada. Robbin currently resides in

Embro, Ontario.

NEIL COXNeil was born in Ingersoll, Ontario and has had an interest in working with

wood early in life. At the age of 26, he was making furniture in Vancouver,

and a few years later began carving wood. Neil is essentially self-taught,

having apprenticed with Stefan Vinyarszky in North Carolina, and spending

six months in Italy learning to carve marble. He has traveled widely, visiting

sculptors and museums throughout North America and Europe in order to

expand his artistic knowledge and ability. He has won several Best of Show

awards at woodcarving shows across North America. His work is primarily awards at woodcarving shows across North America. His work is primarily

figurative in style and often allegorical. Neil currently lives in Toronto, Ontario.

TED HAYESA graduate of HB Beal and Fanshawe College Arts Program, Ted Hayes has

carved ice and snow at the Quebec Winter Carnival, Winterlude in Ottawa as

well as in Europe, the U.S. and across Canada. Although he now specializes in

the fine carving of walking sticks and fireplace mantles, he continues to use a

chainsaw carving tree stubs and contribute to London’s Tree Trunk Tour

program.

MIKE WINIAMike Winia has had a STIHL chainsaw in his hands since he was 10 years old

and it was clear from that early age that he was a gifted artist. Starting his

own logging business, he encouraged proper bush management throughout

south-western Ontario and lisouth-western Ontario and like most carvers, Mike started chainsaw sculpting

in his spare time. Combining his knowledge of STIHL chainsaws and his

artistic ability, he has demonstrated that it’s a perfect combination for creating

some outstanding chainsaw carvings. Mike and his family live in London.

MARY-ANN JACK-BLEACHMary-Ann was born in Fish Hoek, South Mary-Ann was born in Fish Hoek, South Africa and started carving at the age

of 19. In 1987, as an Occupational Therapist she was recruited to work in

London’s UH Transplant Unit. Since 1990 she has become an award winning

carver, teacher and judge. She has written numerous articles for Wood

Carving Illustrated. In 2011 one of her 2008 articles was included in Fox

Chapel’s book entitled “Relief Carving Projects & Techniques (Best of WCI)”.

Despite living with a brain tumour, Mary-Ann remains an active member of

LondoLondon’s Artist Community. She is grateful to STIHL for creating a viable

Battery Operated Chainsaw as this has enabled her to enjoy the art of

chainsaw carving.

NANCY WOODNancy was born in Saint John New Brunswick. She was inspired to start carving

in 2003 after seeing a woodcarving that opened her eyes to the possibilities of

this exciting art form. Nancy initially started carving with hand chisels and power

carving tools. Her goal was always to carve "something big". After meeting

Robbin Wenzoski in 2008 and attending seminars, she learned the many tech-

niques required to safely operate a chainsaw. She has continued to learn from

Robbin and enjoys participating in chainsaw carving events.
