Ryan Anderson has been carving wooden sculptures since he was 17. While chisels and knives would traditionally aid in his art, he reaches for chainsaws instead. He’s carved bears, eagles and otters out of wood. In his most recent televised competition, he has to tackle a different medium: pumpkins. Anderson recently won Food Network’s “Outrageous Pumpkins” and joins us with details on what it’s like taking his skill with power tools to pumpkins.
