Chainsaw Carver exhibits Wood Sculptures at Gallery On First
Kevin V. Abbott II also known as “KII” is an extremely skilled chainsaw carver. KII is the son of Kevin and Debe Abbott who display their art in studio #8. KII has been chainsaw carving for a little over ten years in northern and central New York. He decided to bring his talents south for the winter to see what opportunities exist for him in Florida.
We are excited to let you know that KII has taken space at Gallery on First in studio #6. His work is on display and available in the gallery. Recent works include tiki sculptures, animals of the wild; such as bears, alligators and a life size eagle. He accepts commissions and will do on-site carving in existing tree stumps.
Examples of his work can be found at: Facebook.com/TimberArtGallery
