Dick Smith Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Apparently after WW1 a lot of Australian towns planted trees to commemorate their war dead. These trees are now, it is reported, starting to reach the end of their lives, and local chainsaw artists have been carving them into more conventional memorials (though with differing degrees of talent imho).Two links: http://www.dorsetonline.org.au/trees.htmhttp://www.skp.com.au/memorials/images/p30098e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 That must have been a toughie to do justice to those trees. I'm not sure if the carver succeeded or not. The carving in the second link is much more accomplished, in my opinion. Still, both provoke thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
