Edmonton chainsaw carver Ryan Villiers was approached by a town councillor after a local carving competition, asking if he could create something to memorialize Hope's big screen moment that would be prominently displayed in the town. He agreed, and this spring a large piece of western red cedar from Hope was delivered to his garage in Edmonton. The carver who tackled a life-size Rambo carving said he used hundreds of images of the character and actor Sylvester Stallone to get the angles on the piece just right. (Ryan Villiers)He said he used his chainsaw, and a number of other tools for the fine details. This wood carving of Rambo, the title character from the film Rambo: First Blood, was created in Edmonton by carver Ryan Villier's garage.
