A Dead Tree Become Art




A local sculptor using a chainsaw created these eagles...

There's a local guy who runs a lawnmower sharpening shop who sculpts with a chainsaw in his spare time. This dead tree in Selby Park (Worthington, Ohio) became a work of art as this guy proceeded to turn the trunk of this tree into these awesome eagles. This lawnmower sharpener/artisan is a true artist in that he only uses a certain kind of wood for his works (I can't remember what kind) and he only does jobs he feels like doing. I snapped this shot using a Polaroid SX-70 camera today and was very happy with the nice blue sky in the background. The eagles get more rustic looking as the wood continues to weather and age with time. Now this is what I call art!
