Sometime around 45 years ago, my dad planted a tree at the corner of his house.  It was a little tree and so it was hard to imagine that someday that tree - a Japanese black pine - would grow so big that it would tear up the corner of the house.  So, with great sadness, my dad had the tree guy come and cut down the tree.

And, then we hauled some of the logs up to a chainsaw carver in Whitharral, and this snake is one of four pieces he made for us from that old tree.



The artist is Cam Dockery - check out his work:  Bearly Making It chainsaw carvings.
