WALES, U.K. - British artist Simon O Rourke has used a chainsaw to carve trees into just about everything - lions, angels, dragons, knights, dogs, Batman, gigantic human hands. he s done all of them.
His recent sculpture, titled the Giant Hand of Vyrnwy, measures 50 feet tall and was carved from what was formerly the tallest tree in Wales.
I found out through a friend that the tallest tree in Wales had been storm damaged and was due to be felled, and that Natural Resource Wales who were in charge of the site, were going to commission an artist to carve the tree, he says on his website. I searched the internet for the right person to talk to, and on finding them, I got permission to submit a design.
Chainsaw Sculptor Transforms a Storm-Damaged Tree Into a 50ft Hand Instead of Cutting It
This story was last updated in December 2020.
When the tallest tree in Wales suffered devastating storm damage and was due to be cut down, the forest service had a different idea: to commission an artist to sculpt the tree into a memorial.
Now, the carving has been completed, and the sculptor is being hailed as a visionary for turning the once-glorious tree into the “Giant Hand of Vyrnwy,” a stunning 50-foot sculpture of a giant hand reaching for the sky, as if to reclaim its former grandeur.
