About the carver....

Thank you for visiting my site! I'm a chainsaw artist located in the Central California foothills. It's a true pleasure to be able to share my passion with you all. 

Early spring of 2024 I was busy as always with the day to day responsibilities of being a single dad and working two different jobs. With little time or money to break away from the norm, I was in desperate need to find a hobby I could do at home. One evening while randomly scrolling YouTube, I came across a video of a carver named Jordy Johnson (Carving Fusion on YouTube). The video was a beginners guide on how to carve a wood spirit with a Dremel. The next day I was out in my shop re-watching the video and following along with my Dremel and a piece of wood that was soon to go in the woodstove. I was hooked and must have binge watched his videos for the week or two following (and still never miss one). After carving another wood spirit I happen to come across one of his videos carving with a chainsaw and the rest is history. Not long after I had multiple chainsaws and all the basic carving tools.  Whenever I had a free minute, I was out carving. I slowly started sharing photos on Facebook and was absolutely blown away by the responses received. After listing a few and have them sell fairly fast, it soon became a passion that paid for itself and quickly grew into more. Mountain Mike's Chainsaw Carvings was established in the beginning of 2025 and here I am today, carving full time and loving every minute of it. I'm blessed beyond my wildest dreams to be able to wake up daily and get to do what I love so much. Thank you all!
