He caused a stir in the wooded area around the UK town of Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, by anonymously carving a series of sculptures there.

He says, " Having learnt the use of chainsaws and tree felling, I have learnt a lot about trees and types of wood etc."

"I started carving, using my skills with the chainsaw, and my interest in art from my school years."

"I have now found the art form for which I am now practising and love the art of chainsaw carving wood sculptures. All my carvings are made from trees which have either fell naturally or need to be felled for woodland management purposes."

"I see the trees come back to life in my artistic struggle working against the grain, with all of the beauty of the wood showing through."
