In the series premiere, 12 of the world’s top chainsaw carvers travel to a remote forest to compete in the ultimate carving competition.

This week the judges have a big surprise in store and a shocking elimination ceremony sends the carvers reeling.

The remaining carvers are left to battle it out in the ultimate chainsaw competition; they must design and create birdhouses.

The competition heats up as carvers start to rack up wins; they must bring their A-game as one tiny mistake could send someone packing.

The carvers create and race cars, while the Master Carve pairs them up in a team challenge; they must work together or face the axe.

The carvers must first carve musical instruments then create fantastical carousel animals ready to ride.
