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.
