Default You Have Got To See This ! Makes A Woodcarver Proud
My uncle in Blioxi Miss. just sent me a e-mail that really makes us woodcarvers feel proud .. I just had to share it with you guys and gals ..

The Title of the Pictures are
" Five live oak trees in the median on U.S. Highway 90 in Blioxi Miss. that died as a result of Hurricane Katrina received new life in the hands of some very skilled Chainsaw Carving Artist "

I a'm going to have to do the pictures in two post .. so here they are .
hope you enjoy them.. Ia'm sorry you will have to wait for the pictures to open .. but their well worth it ..

One more note, I could be wrong, but I believe those trees are on highway 90 in Gulfport rather than Biloxi.........

Doesn't really make any difference unless somebody wanted to go see them....
