Knaresborough chainsaw art

Does anyone know anything about these mysterious carvings?

We spotted these in Knaresborough whilst out walking in the glorious February sunshine this Sunday afternoon. They’re in the woods just off Knaresborough’s Abbey Road (see map below) in North Yorkshire.

3 beautiful examples of chainsaw carving. Real works of art. Only problems is we couldn’t find any info about them anywhere. No plaques no nothing. An hour of post-hike Googling brought no wisdom either – we found a couple of Flickr entries; one obscure mention of chainsaw art in the Harrogate Advertiser circa 2010. And that’s about it.

 Where did they come from? Who is this talented chainsaw artist?

We strongly recommend taking a look at these carvings the next time you’re in Knaresborough.

DIRECTIONS

From Waterside, cross the road at the junction with Briggate – look left – look right – to enter Abbey Road. Keep the River Nidd on your right. Walk for about 10 minutes and you’re there. Don’t forget your camera!

Maybe the artist has other work in the Knaresborough / Harrogate area? Any ideas?
