Derwydd Jones Tree Artistry
Chainsaw Carving Services
I carve in the shadow of the Sleeping Giant in the Brecon Beacons, just outside Dan Yr Ogof Caves, as well as carving onsite in various locations. The work undertaken can range from whole trees to tree stumps right down to logs.
Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.

By working entirely with chainsaws and power tools this reflects on the Native American Philospohy above everything in circles. No hand tools are used such as chisels, (they go in a straight line) apart from the occasional hammer and crow bar to remove large stubborn pieces of discarded wood. The speed in which carvings can be created appeals to my own sense of instant gratification even when they take days or weeks to produce.
If you are having a tree cut down and would like the stump or tree carved, I can work with your tree surgeon to leave a suitable piece for your sculpture.
