Golden Carver Award’s
Carver Rankings
The Golden Carver Awards is here to promote chainsaw artists and recognize their skill. These carver rankings are reflective of their finishes within our GCA competitions. The rankings are based only on Carver Choice finishes.
Our rankings are ordered by “carver rating”. Carver ratings enable us to keep track of all time stats, as well as recognize who is the best right now. Each carver rating is based on their most recent work, and takes into account each carver’s total finish, points scored, and ability to do well in all of the Golden Carver Award themes. Carvers are encouraged to produce quality entries for each competition to display a variety of skill sets.
(Stats are updated at the close of each competition)
