Subject: Dolphins Made From A Fallen Tree (Stellarton, NS)


A project for you to try......


Dolphins Made From A Fallen Tree

What a talent!
This fellow, Alex MacLeod, is from the Stellarton area of Nova Scotia.(Canada)
 This pod of 15 dolphins was visualized and carved from one piece of dutch elm. The hardwood tree was one of many which were uprooted in and around Halifax, NS during Hurricane Juan in 2003.
 Taking several years to complete, at 5 meters (14 ft) in length, no pieces were added on.
Feel free to pass along to your friends and it will be seen around the world.
