Professional wood sculptor Marlin, & his son Preston, Miller of Fort Walton Beach, Florida donated their time and talents and carved a trail of Katrina Sculptures that stretches for 40 miles. The perched herons, pelicans, soaring eagles and playful dolphins along the beach and elsewhere have become the number one tourist attraction in the area.
Using steel chain saws to start, the Millers then work their way down to high speed grinders, sanders and chisels to add the final detail work.
