ASHEVILLE BEAR CARVINGS
Celebrate Mountain Made Crafts
Chainsaw Art is an American tradition, and nothing is more iconic then bear carvings. From imposing monuments to happy doorstep bears, our mission is to celebrate this tradition by bringing some of the finest and varied examples of this craft to the Western North Carolina market. Truly unique, world class quality in every piece, our heirloom-quality pieces speak to mastery of technique and critically acclaimed artistic flair.
Founded by a team of artists and innovators, all of our artwork is made by or under the direction of WNC Master Carver and folk-art advocate, Chris Scott Markey Jr.
