Paul Frenette

Paul started this journey after he had his favorite possession stolen, Wilson. A cement statue made to look like an Easter Island head. One day Paul was staring down at the trunk of a huge Walnut tree (finding lumber for winter), and he saw the face of Wilson. That’s when he decided he would take it home and give life to Wilson again, through the wood. After many years of practice, commission jobs, events and competitions, Paul finally began to master chainsaw art.

Paul then went on to show off his skills in many places like BC, Japan, US and Ontario along with two hit TV shows, one for HGTV’s “Carver Kings” and another for OLN and Discovery’s “Saw Dogs”. An artist is never satisfied with his progress but Paul has come a long way to reach the level of skill and perfection he achieves in every carving.
