2020 saw a record number of applications for the Scottish Open Chainsaw Carving Competition. We are very grateful to those Carvers who, despite the pandemic agreed to enter the Virtual Carve Carrbridge instead.

Technology that was a challenge for us all last year has enabled them to bring to you, in just a few minutes, what they would normally achieve in 4 hrs.

As we couldn’t get the wood to them  they have kindly created their competition piece from what they had locally.

These pieces or commissions are for sale direct from the Carver as sadly we were unable to include the Grand Auction

Please view finished carvings in detail by zooming in with the + button.

Timelapse videos will let you see the process. Each carving, created in the usual manner in 4 hrs, chainsaw only with burning permitted. Although Carve Carrbridge supplied the T shirts the Carvers supplied their own wood and we are thankful for those who have competed this year.

We hope you will also take some time to participate in the popular People’s Choice by voting below.

Voting will close at 3.30 and the winners will be announced at 4pm by the one and only Mr Graeme Allsop.  Having hung up his real mic in 2019 we are delighted to welcome him back ‘virtually’ for this unique event.

Although we can’t bring you our Grand Auction, the Carvings are for sale by contacting the Carvers directly. Their details here.
