Our carvers will come to your location and carve a commission piece just for you! We need to know the location, size and specie of the tree. Together, with your imagination, and our talents we can create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for your backyard.


ON-SITE CARVINGS

Bear Hollow’s Wood Carvers can bring any idea to life – animals, people, pets, memorials, benches, the possibilities are endless. If you imagine it – we'll create it.

COMMISSION CARVINGS

We have been performing carving shows for over 20 years now. Spectators enjoy the carvings, but they fall in love with the process. Every Bear Hollow Show is a chance to experience a new creation. That is what keeps them coming back for every show!

  • 4 One Hour Shows Daily: From a log to a sculpture each show lasts about an hour and creates a finished carving.
  • 4 Sculptures Created Daily: The sculptures our artists create belong to the event. Most events will hold a live auction to sell the carvings. This typically produces the best results. A well-advertised auction can create another event for attendees to enjoy and purchase a carving. A silent auction can be another option if a live auction doesn’t work for your event. We can help guide you with suggestions if you choose this option. Lastly, the sculptures can be used as grounds décor, sponsor gift, etc. the choice is yours.
  • Event provides the carving wood. Bear Hollow will give you the requirements. This is a very important piece as it directly impacts the outcome of the carving.
  • Lodging or Lodging Buy Out. Lodging begins one night prior to performance through the final night.
  • 40x40 Space with Electricity: 110 30amp within 10 feet of the carving area.
  •  We require a 3 day minimum.

Such an amazing gift shop. We loved looking around at all the unique gifts. We loved all the wood carvings. The ice cream shop that is attached was delicious and definitely a nice little treat. We will definitely be back.

If you like carved wood this is the place. Blows my mind how such a violent power tool, in the right hands can create such beauty. We were lucky enough to be in town when they had a carving expo/contest.

Bear Hollow is amazing! Something for everyone! Several unique items and several sure to tickle your funny bone. Perfect place for that hard to shop for person!


Our carvers typically hit the road in the spring and travel all across the country to showcase their chainsaw carving skills at various events. Come see us in a town near you!
