Mt Rushmore Tree Totem

This tree was done on a property in Wolfeboro right on Lake Winnipesauke. The customer wanted the four faces of Mt Rushmore carved into this pine tree. The likenesses were difficult. I think I got them at maybe 70 to 80% correct. It was tough carving them in the freezing winter weather. You can also see my adjustable staging arrangement. The horizontal boards let me set the working platforms at different heights.
