I have a strong dislike for chainsaw "art"

[callous taoboy]

This dude here in town has built a vast chainsaw "art" empire. I've watched it grow as it is on my commute. Rows and rows of "cute" lil chainsawed bears etc. Recently, the beautiful huge oak that was standing in front of an equally beautiful courthouse from the 1800s had to be cut down because it was rotting on the inside in the upper trunk and so posed a danger. So what does the town do with the large stump that was left over? Commission the chainsaw "art" dude to turn it into the most horrendous double eagle "art" piece. It is an eyesore, an abomination, an insult to tree trunks and eagles and chainsaws. It completely wrecks the aesthetic of the fine old courthouse. I want to chainsaw it down, or chop a couple of eagle beaks off.

1. I actually saw a good example of such a thing recently

there was an old house and a tree next to it along my regular errands route that both needed to be taken down. They just tore the house down, but turned the tree stump into a fairly nifty chinese looking dragon sculpture. I wish I could get pics of it, but every time I pass it I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. :P

2. Well, yeah, I mean a dragon would've been cool, but these two

eagles look just radickolus.

3. Fear not

Outside wood "sculpture" eventually rots.

10. I have completely reversed my stand against chainsaw art, thanks

to Tuesday. Did you create those? Those are nice. It's the bear and eagle fetish some of these dudes have that make me want to tell them to hit the reset button.

12. MAybe they start out as something else, but the default is bear or eagle

I imagine a chain saw doesn't allow for many mistakes!
