Using Chainsaw, Skilled Artist Transforms A Damaged Tree Into A Hand Reaching For The Sky

Artist Simon O'Rourke Used A Chainsaw To Carve A Giant Hand Emerging From A Tree Stump. There are a few tall Douglas firs growing in the Giants of Vyrnwy area and I was going on the giants theme, he said. It's a last attempt by the tree to reach the sky. Mr O'Rourke, who has been tree carving for nine years, has 12 different chainsaws. His previous projects have included carvings of a swan, an angel, a kingfisher, a chipmunk and a giant clock.
