Need weekend plans? Check out chainsaw carving at The Reindeer Farm

Masonville firefighter carves reindeer with power tools

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Looking for local weekend plans? If the sound of chainsaws, blow torches, and wood shaving appeal to you, look no further.

Here in Bowling Green, The Reindeer Farm’s chainsaw carving exhibit. Both Saturday and Sunday, watch Masonville firefighter BJ Raymer turn pieces of wood into Santa’s reindeer before your eyes.

Raymer picked up the hardcore hobby a few years ago, and just like these wood shavings, he’s taking off flying.

This is actually Glowing Jacks Carvings second year here out at the farm after such a beloved premiere.

Raymer said, “It’s kind of like artwork, so everything they’re seeing for the first time is everything I’m seeing for the first time! Everybody’s excited together, so it’s just a nice reaction”

Soon, there’ll be more fun along the same lines out here – just a little bit chillier! You can head out to The Reindeer Farm next weekend to see a professional ice sculptor at work.
