When I carve bears I normally do vertical groups but for a change today I decided to try a horizontal composition. I did not think I would win but I thought it would be popular.” Ian has been carving for eight years. Before that he was working with chain saws and one day saw someone carving with a chainsaw and decided to give it a try. This is the the sixth time Ian has competed in Carve Carrbridge, previously achieving a third and a fourth placing. Following his win he has vowed to return next year to defend his title. Ian works as a professional carver and does private commissions. He can be contacted via his web site High Resolution (2010/IMG_9497-1200x1800.jpg) )Bob King the 2009 winner came second with his 'A Hare Raising Experience' a dynamic carving of an eagle swooping down on a hare. Commenting on the event Bob said “the crowds today were spectacular with their support, and that drives us to work even harder in the competition. The wood provided was beautiful to work with, and the carvers are a great bunch of guys and gals. Another successful year for Carve Carrbridge.” Full Results 1st Ian Chalmers (Scotland) with 'Bear Necessities'. 2nd Bob King (USA) with 'A Hare Raising Experience'. 3rd Brett McLean with 'Balanced Pride'.
