Pierced Carvings and a Wabbit
Today, carved two stumps by Lake Huron in the park. Pierced carving allows the back lit stumps to show off the light from Lake Huron. The rabbit is in a stump with a large rotten core. That’s why he’s fat to avoid the rotten core.

Even chainsaw carvers have to dabble in other art forms.
