This impressive totem is made of recycled car and motorcycle parts and has five main characters, which are also listed in the name of the totem: "Wolf, Beaver, Orca, Frog, Raven". The totem was created by Travis Pond and donated to Lake Oswego in 2012.
"Totem II" was unveiled on October 11, 2012 and is on permanent display at Jean Road Fire Station at the corner of Jean and Bryant Roads in Lake Oswego. Artist Robert Jefferson Travis Pond (Travis Pond) created the sculpture from used scrap metals, including some items that has been collected from local school kids. Pond created this totem using quite a few motorcycle parts including a fuel tank. Check out his other car-part sculptures on his website (including a youtube video of him creating a piece).
