Man Carves Statue of Liberty Out of Red Oak Tree

JACKSON, Tenn.– In South Jackson, it was quite a sight that had many who drove by doing a double-take. A red oak tree, carved into the Statue of Liberty along South Highland at Bond Street. Ken Tynan of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania spent several hours on the creation. He said there were several people in the Hub City showing support. “(Thursday) it was a parade of cars all day and all I got was this all day (motioning a ‘thumbs up’). It was too cold to roll the windows down, so I just got a bunch of ‘thumbs up’. So, it’s nice to see people appreciate it,” said Ken Tynan, a tree sculptor. Tynan said it takes an average of two weeks to complete one his sculptures.
