Joshua Skerjanec is the Colorado Springs artist behind Big Bear Carvings. Using a chainsaw as his primary carving tool, Joshua transforms wood into distinctive wildlife sculptures filled with texture, expression, and rustic character.

Big Bear Carvings brings birds to life in wood, including these pieces displayed outside our Colorado Springs store beneath Pikes Peak.

Wildlife Taking Shape in Wood

From the layered feathers of an owl to the individual character of each animal, Joshua’s work shows how much life and personality can emerge from a solid piece of wood. Each carving is a unique piece of nature-inspired art for the home, garden, porch, or cabin.
