Wichita KS has alot of these. After a tornado came through and damaged
several trees a couple of local artists came in and carved the trunks into
whimsical animals and people. I can't think of the artist's name right now -
but he went on to carve scuptures all over the city. I always respected the
fact that he wouldn't touch a live healthy tree, no matter how badly the
owners wanted a sculpture!
