Meet Lansing's Chainsaw Artist
Kris Kaleta is used to being approached while carving various animals into blocks of wood. He's been passionate about it since he was 24, broke, with nothing but a chainsaw and a need to give his brother a birthday gift. So, logically, he used a chainsaw to carve a mushroom, and the rest is history.
