Jake Rhodes is an artist – but he doesn’t use a canvas and watercolours. Instead, all he needs is just a piece of wood and a chainsaw.
He had 28 hours to cut, glue, chisel, burn and paint an eight-foot long white pine log. Out of 12 sculptors competing, Rhodes was the only Canadian carver.
Wanting to create something that represents Canada, Rhodes carved a moose bust with a loon at its feet and a grey owl on its back. He called the sculpture 'Moosin Around'.
