Rob Bast is a self taught sculptor form the Yarra Valley in Victoria Australia.
He works with various materials such as wood, steel, ice and stone.
Having always enjoyed drawing and sculpture, Rob started chainsaw carving in 2003 and then started sculpting full time in 2009, building a thriving business concentrating on chainsaw carving and metal sculpture.
Rob has been invited to compete at chainsaw sculpture competitions nationally and internationally.
He is the current Australian Chainsaw Carving Champion, winning the title in 2015, 2017 and 2018. This is only the third time that Rob has sculpted in NSW, having showcased his talents in most other states.
