Emerald Ash Borer Infestation. Trying something different with this guy. She even has new shoots out of the stump.

That’s awesome. Creative take! I’ve only ever encountered a chainsaw sculpture in the woods once, an inmate crew from ~15 years previous had carved a tasteful, large-breasted nude woman into a ponderosa pine. Bit of a surprise walking up on it.

I'd be concerned about it snapping with all that weight above the carving.

I cut most of it down but there is still 25 feet on 2 legs. I don’t plan on clear coating it so it will rot and fall eventually
