Judah's Stress Free Life on the Road

Chainsaw carver Judah gives fallen wood a new purpose, bringing it to life with his beautiful wooden sculptures…

If you’re a regular driver on the local Cotswold and Vale roads, you have probably passed this young man and his grazing horses a hundred times and probably never given them a second thought! Roadside carver Judah Harry tells his story with his chainsaw, giving beautiful old fallen wood a new purpose whilst earning a few quid to keep his chainsaw running and food for his beloved pet horses and dog…

24 year old Judah has been on the road with his horses and cart for nearly 8 years, having been raised by his parents in much the same way for most of his life. For Judah, chainsaw carving is a passion and a way of combining his self taught creative talent with the love of freedom that his nomadic lifestyle brings. Judah’s off-the-grid way of life brings him into contact with lots of people who stop for a friendly chat and to admire his wooden creations. Judah adds: “I love nothing more than to show off my sculptures and answer the questions of friendly folk who are intrigued by the way I live, and to let their children stroke the horses.

“This life isn’t for everyone, imagine the long cold winter nights, whilst I’m snuggled up on my own in the cart with just my dog for company- I love it and some people say I must be crazy, but I feel blessed for every day I’m travelling the countryside and just living my fantastic life.”

Next time you’re passing, why not stop and see his amazing carvings up close and personal.
