Ken Tynan - Chainsaw Carver

Butler, Pa. native returns to Shaker Woods on August 8 & 9, 15 & 16. The former billboard painter turned chainsaw artist will create three to four carvings each day of the show. Ken’s sculptures include superheroes, animals and faces, for which he’s best known. That’s no doubt due to the years he spent painting faces of realtors and lawyers on billboards. His keen eye for faces is exemplified in his lifelike artwork.
