Landmark - Fannin Bear-Blue Ridge, GA

Great place for a photo!
Fannin Bear-Blue Ridge, GA.
 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. Type of wood carving: Chainsaw, grinder, chisel & carving tools
Other type:
It was a oak tree
Approximate size/height: 20 feet
