What to do with an old red oak that’s been struck by lightning?
Who needs firewood when you can carve a totem pole instead?
That’s what Pa’s Chainsaw Creations did at Henry Horton State Park recently, turning a stump into a work of art.
Over several days of work the old tree in front of the inn was transformed into a totem representing many of the animals in the park, down to the fish in the Duck River.
Stacey Cothran, with the Friends of Henry Horton State Park, was personally delighted by the inclusion of two of the park’s permanent residents, Cotton the owl and Pokey the hawk, at the top of the pole.
The carving was funded by a grant from the Friends of Tennessee State Parks received by the Friends of Henry Horton State Park.
