Hurricane Ike is an ongoing tragedy for many persons. But I have a story about something positive that came of it. Later this evening, I am going to unveil the product of a man's labor, as he worked to transform this broken tree into something different.
@edgarblythe,
and a coupla cords of wood in the backyard ready to split.
@edgarblythe,
That's quite the piece of work. Do you know the guy?
Nice, I like chainsaw art.
what sort of tree?
@dadpad,
looks like an oak....beautiful carving - amazing patience required for that kind of thing!
Oaks have a reputation for being tough, but they don't weather storms that well.
@Reyn,
I have never met the artist, reyn.
@edgarblythe,
Oh, okay. The folds in the work look amazing. Almost like a stuffed felt toy.
I should get a closeup of the cats, but it is on a private place and I felt like an intruder when I took these.

The wood piled in the back yard was never moved.
Sad update. The sculpture has been allowed to deteriorate. It should be cut down.
@edgarblythe,
Now it's more real as ever, for it lives in memory.
