Dennis Roghair started carving at an early age with a pocket knife, a tool he used to carve many small projects. In high school, he inherited hand carving tools by way of a brother's wife. With these tools, he paid his way through college in Utah doing sculptures while earning a degree in wildlife management. Dennis now carves full time in Hinckley, Minnesota. He can be reached there or contacted through his website at www.SculptureByRoghair.com.

Jamie Doeren is a chainsaw carver from Wisconsin. While bears are not his all-time favorite subject to carve with a chainsaw, he grudgingly admits that chainsawed bears are extremely popular among the folks who visit his Wisconsin shop. He is currently working on decorating the interior of a woodland cabin in Wisconsin, which involves carving mantels, staircases and more - all with a chainsaw.
