JCM 9,130 #1 Posted February 2 At the M & G here in Maine in 2022 my daughter came to visit so I surprised her with a ride in the 86 Chevy K-20 something she hadn't been in for many years. She has a liking for Owls so I headed to a few back roads from the house and when she spotted this she was thrilled. It amazes me how much talent some people have to create something this magnificent. This stands all of 8' tall , stump included, would be a fair guess.

ebinmaine 67,413 #2 Posted February 2 That. Is. Awesome. There's a place just south of Conway NH that does chain saw carving. Super cool to see the things folks can do. (If I ever tried that it would look like a kindergarten abstract) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,607 #7 Posted February 3 I purchased this piece a few years back. I didnt know how tall it was until i went to pick it up. I had planned on putting it on my front porch. Come to find out it was over 9 feet tall. Wasnt going to fit on the porch, wasnt going to fit in the house either. I didnt want to leave it outside so i enjoyed looking at it for the summer then sold it. Wish I kept it. Even had the history of the artist making it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,608 #8 Posted February 4 @JCM funny you brought this up , while working in the shed , the maple tree about 25 ft. away , with green / pale white mold on it , seamed to have a movement point . just stopped my movement , and watched , sure enough , the mold was moving ! the small bird / sapsucker , was a perfect match for its searching ,silo whet , size coloring , you could not se it , till it moved . had 2 rows of deep holes , now spreading syrup , in the bark . holes were about 5/16 " at least 2" deep , neat rows .

wallfish 16,994 #9 Posted February 4 Some of those chainsaw guys are very talented. We were watching the guy do some at Apple fest at Wachusett mountain this year. Here's a little one that was mounted up on the front of the shed. He keeps watch. Probably need to get up there and seal it now that it's weathered like I wanted. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
