13 Amazing Wood Carving Of Animals And Figures By Sculpture Artist

Every tree experiences its own cycle of birth, growth and decline. Once a tree dies, it is often cut down and carted off to the wood chipper. Sometimes, though, nearby woodcarvers will come along and use their chainsaws and grinders to preserve trees and what they represented in people’s lives.

The town has over 60 carvings created by many different local artists, and they are placed all over town.
