The Belmont Breakthrough
The Client: New York Racing Association (NYRA)
The Project: A permanent landmark for the historic Belmont Park Grand Opening (Installation: September 18–21, 2026).
The Art: A massive, 10-foot-tall custom fine art chainsaw carving (8ft x 7ft) sculpted from premium Eastern White Pine. The design captures the explosive, built-up vortex energy of a thoroughbred horse right before it breaks from the starting gate.

Beyond Sculpture. Beyond Expectations.
Heritage Stump Carvings
Before you spend thousands on removal, we salvage 200+ year-old heritage tree stumps, transforming them right where they stand into permanent, site-specific chainsaw art. We handle all on-site assessments and utility clearance checks before carving begins.
Custom Studio Monuments
Massive, custom public installations engineered for durability.We craft these pieces from premium species like Eastern White Pine in our studio, managing the turnkey nationwide logistics, heavy transport, crane rigging, and site restoration safely.
