Save a Tree….Carve a Tiki

Sadly, this queen palm has died…a toxic disease that affected a couple of our other queens…we were warned it would spread and it did.

No choice but to call the tree trimmer.

However, this is no ordinary tree trimmer.  Behold - Chainsaw Art!

And it just keeps getting better…add the grinder for detail work.

30 minutes from start…(longer than Mr. Trey expected)…here's the result!  Happy Dance!  Pretty awesome seeing the whole process!

As he stands…with a heart tattoo for my tiki loving husband:)

Adorned with handmade paper "lanterns"...if you look closely, you can see a bit of the Chinese newspaper that was incorporated a few layers ago....

It's a large canvas...I wanted to take advantage of the natural sunlight for a photo op, so outside we went.
