Having discovered the world of the chainsaw artist in 2011, Simon decided to put his hand to the art, producing his very first piece, carved initials for his sister's wedding.
Encouraged by his success, he developed ideas and produced a range of simple carvings, including mushrooms, small benches and chairs.
As Simon's confidence and ability improved, he attempted more intricate designs, such as bears and other small animals.
Since these early days, Simon has vastly extended his repertoire of designs and has exhibited carvings in a range of settings, from small local fairs, to larger art exhibitions.
