Chainsaw course – carving a totem pole
Weekly course all day
This course uses large-format chainsaw work to explore a theme full of nature and symbolism: the totem culture of indigenous peoples. Based on your ideas, a design with corresponding stylizations is first developed against the background of traditional forms. The rough shape is carved out with a chainsaw, the finishing touches are applied to your totem with an angle grinder and carving iron, and the final touch is added with painting. The result is a wooden memorial measuring approx. 2 m in height and 40 cm in diameter as an individual ornament for your own garden!
