The weather was damp the first few days, but fans turned out in droves on Saturday as it was dry and warm. Folks watched in awe as a stump of cedar was changed from a log into a beautiful piece of art.

One of the more interesting pieces on display this weekend was this fish with a tongue and teeth showing, made by Oregon 3-D Art and Chainsaw Sculptures, LLC, of Eugene.
Over the weekend, chainsaw sculptors from all over the world descended on Reedsport for the 10th-annual Division Chainsaw Sculpting Championships.
While rain drops made their presence early in the mornings, most of the afternoons during the four-day event were very pleasant.
The carvers started at 8 a.m. each morning and spent three and a half days completing their competition pieces.
Winners in the pro division were: First place: Bob King, Edgewood, Wash.; second place: Steven Higgins, Northport, Wash.; third place: Marty Smith, Suquamish, Wash.
