The sculpture tree, made by chain saw carving

            In 2018, we had a sugar maple tree that was dying in the back yard.  Rather than just cut it down, we had it converted into a sculpture tree by a local chain saw carver.  The hawk and the racoon are wearing Santa hats for a Christmas card letter photo.

The images include a red tailed hawk, a racoon, a leaping frog, a cardinal, and a nesting mourning dove.  

The trunk of the tree was carved to resemble vines and includes an owl face and a cat profile.

The tree has since been stained and sealed with a log cabin preservation stain and is in great shape.
