The home yard of Lieksa-based chainsaw sculptor Taisto Pehkonen is full of sculptures that are more skilful than each other. In the courtyard, you can find familiar animal figures, but also interesting abstract works with their intricate shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pehkonen is a loyal competition sculptor at the Bear Festival in Ilomantsi, and his works can also be seen in the Bear Forest sculpture exhibition.
