Ray was sawing firewood when he decided to saw his name on a block of wood. Then Ray started sawing messages to his brother. As one thing lead to another, Ray started sawing 3 demensional figures on fence post and stumps. Sawing stump art started in 1953. Ray sawed many pieces of furniture and sawed decorative pieces for log cabins. The progression of Ray's chainsaw art lead to Ray sawing chainsaw art all over the world.
Eventually Ray started sawing on other materials than just wood. He sawed on apples,pumpkins,paper,cardboard,nuts,seeds,leaves, and stone. The sawing on sand stone was very interesting and hard on a chainsaw.
