Chainsaw Carver at Work

I have posted photos previously of his work on the old white oak. So today I took a photo of him at work.
That is pretty cool, but isn't that harmful to the tree to remove it's bark?

It's amazing how he can bring out those figures with the chainsaw.

Fascinating to see him and what it takes to support him while he's carving.

@kkp Thank you Kate, the tree died spring of 2016, rather then chop it down -since it was one of the centerpieces of Saw Mill Park - it was decided if funds could be raised to hire a professional carver to come in and turn it into a monument of the history of the township. The funds were raised.
@sangwann Thank you Dione, he is an amazing.
@taffy Thank you Taffy, I enjoy watching him do it
