Myles Nasby is keeping the saws HOT at Midwest Old Threshers! 🥵💥

He’s been staying busy, cranking out carvings and giving the crowd plenty to stop and watch along the way.

If you’re out at Midwest Old Threshers, make sure you swing by the Bear Hollow setup, catch Myles in action, and check out what’s coming off the saw. 🪚

There’s nothing quite like seeing one of these pieces take shape right in front of you.

Come follow the sawdust. You’ll find us. 🤘

2 WEEKS. 👀 That’s it.

In 14 days, downtown French Lick will look and sound a whole lot different. 💥 The carving crew comes home. The chainsaws fire up. The carvings start lining up. The auctions get WILD. 🤩

Block Bash #17 is happening September 18-20th in downtown French Lick, in the Bear Hollow Wood Carvers’ parking lot.

Watch the chainsaw carving action, listen to live music, hang out in the beer and wine gardens, browse the vendor marketplace, and enjoy amazing food from our vendors - see you SOON! 🤙🏼

Consider this your warning. 😏💥 In just 2 weeks, downtown French Lick gets taken over by chainsaws, carvers, sawdust, auctions, food, music, and the kind of crowd that knows exactly why Block Bash is worth the trip.

September 18–20th.

Jesse Beeson is holding it down at the Noble County Fair in Caldwell, Ohio! 💥

The saws are running, the carvings are stacking up, and there’s still plenty of action left to catch. 🤙🏼 Jesse will be carving through September 5, so if you’re headed to the fair, make sure you stop by the Bear Hollow setup, see what he’s working on, and check out the pieces he’s already knocked out.

If you hear the chainsaws, you’re getting close. 🤩

17 years of Block Bash. 💥

That’s a LOT of chainsaws, a lot of sawdust, a lot of carvings, and a whole lot of stories.

Some of you have been showing up since the early years. Some of you found us recently. And some of you are about to experience this thing for the very first time. 🤙🏼

So we want to hear it: What’s your favorite Block Bash memory? 🤔

September 18–20, we make some new ones.

That’s a wrap at the Allen County Fair! 🔥 Jason Stoner spent the week putting the saws to work in Lima, Ohio, and cranked out a seriously solid lineup of carvings along the way.

A huge thank you to the Allen County Fair for having Bear Hollow back at one of our favorite stops of the year - and to everyone who came by, watched Jason carve, checked out the finished pieces, and showed us some love.

Another fair in the books. Another pile of sawdust left behind. See y’all at the next show. 🤙🏼
