HOLLYN JOHNSON/Tribune-Herald Conrad Sandoval of Art by Sandoval works on a chainsaw carving in ohia wood of a bear for Steve’s Honda on Leilani Street just outside of the shop Friday morning. The artist got interested in chainsaw art at a young age. “I was in second grade when I saw I guy doing it. I looked down the street at him and said, ‘That’s what I’m going to do when I grow up,” said Sandoval as passing cars slow down to take another look at his own work. Before moving to Pahoa four months ago, he competed in carving competitions all over the mainland and did commissioned works for small businesses and individual clients.
