About US

We call ourselves The Couple Carvers (Gary & Marilyn Betlach) and love creating chainsaw art that people enjoy.  We live in Wisconsin but travel with our carvings summer and winter.  We have been carving since 1997 and enjoy working as a team.  Many of our chainsaw carvings have both of our personal touches added to each piece.  We like to put time and detail into our sculptures and each piece gets a good outdoor protective finish (see FAQ).  We do a lot of special orders and have carvings all over the United States and even a few pieces overseas.  This is what we love to do so do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Smokey Bears are great for schools, and in fact, one of our Smokey Bears is in the Hill City School in South Dakota.  They are the only school in the United States given permission by the Forest Service to have Smokey Bear as their school mascot.

Smokey Bear looks great indoors or outdoors and is loved by all including firefighters, Smokey Bear collectors and of course, children.  Order your Smokey Bear today!
