This carving was made from a tree stump which was cut off about 30 feet above the ground. It is located in a playground across the railroad tracks from the Fannin County Courthouse.
The bear is well done. It appears to have been cut basically with a chain saw and then other tools. It appears that it is a work in progress with several of the smaller carvings in the trunk look new.
The kids on the playground have a good time looking at all the things carved in the trunk.
