A Cut Above (TV series)

A Cut Above is a Canadian reality competition television series that premiered on Discovery Channel in 2022. The show features 12 master chainsaw carvers competing in weekly challenges, demonstrating their artistic and technical skills using chainsaws to create sculptures from wood. Each episode sees the carvers tasked with designing and executing sculptures based on a theme, often with time constraints and specific material requirements. A panel of judges, consisting of chainsaw carving experts, evaluates the carvings based on creativity, technical skill, and adherence to the challenge criteria. The carver with the least impressive sculpture in each episode is eliminated. The season culminates in a final competition where the remaining carvers compete for the title of "A Cut Above" champion and a cash prize. The show emphasizes both the artistry and athleticism involved in chainsaw carving.
