Giant Squirrels

This carving was made from a damaged pine tree in front of an apartment building in Hamden, CT.  The stump had a lean to it and a branch coming out at around 9 or 10 ft. The name of the building had “chestnut” in the title, so I went with a sketch of 2 squirrels going after some chestnuts.

Set up some staging and then it was “saw time”!
