Parrot Creek School — Trajectory NW Demo
Live chainsaw carving demonstration at Parrot Creek School with Austin Ernesti and the team from Trajectory NW. This is one of the outreach programs I do a few times a year — showing up at schools, getting kids into the shop mindset, and putting tools in their hands under close guidance.
The staff told me afterward that one of the boys really locked in during the demo. I walked him through every process layer — roughing, shaping, detailing, texturing, finishing — and he stayed with it the whole way. He carved that entire bear start to finish. That's the kind of connection that makes these demos worth doing.
Trajectory NW does important work connecting young people with trades and hands-on learning. Proud to be part of it.
