Chainsaw artist turns rotting tree into majestic eagle

The eagle would have had a 6-foot wing span, been clutching fish in its sharp talons, an intricate pattern of vines would have weaved its way down the stump and another eagle would have been carved from another branch, perched on a nest with baby eagles inside.

Camdenton chainsaw artist Lance Kellogg put three days of work into carving that first vision on one of the dying trees on the Camden County Courthouse lawn before he had to take his chainsaw to the bottom of the tree.
