Stacy Poitras

Stacy Poitras is an American chainsaw carving sculptor who is featured in Country Music Television's reality television show Chainsaw Gang. He is owner of a company called Deadwood Tree Sculptures in California. He principally creates large wooden sculptures using chainsaws.

Poitras grew up in Plymouth, Massachusetts, graduating with the Plymouth High School Class of 1985. His talent in the arts was recognized as early as second grade when, according to Poitras, he began selling drawings of dinosaurs and other things to his classmates.

He attended the prestigious School of the Museum of Fine Arts for two and one-half years. He majored in painting there but became intrigued with chainsaw sculpting after seeing a man doing it on the side of a road.

Chainsaw Gang debuted on November 9, 2012 as part of an initial 10 show series billed as "Stacy Poitras leads a rag-tag bunch of the country's premiere chainsaw artists who battle blades breaking, chainsaws bursting into flames and agitating each other as they manage to deliver incredible works of art—and a really good time."

In December 2012 Poitras announced his engagement to his long-time girlfriend Alison Eastwood. The couple were married in March 2013. She has also been featured on the reality TV series Chainsaw Gang as the sculptor's girlfriend.
