We spotted one out on Route 940 between Pocono Pines and Pocono Lake. It was on the left side of the road while you are driving west.

If you want a little drive, I see this guys stuff on my way to Quakertown. Chainsaw Creations by Barry Frank He's about 20 minutes south of Allentown. I don't know anything about chainsaw art, but his stuff looks pretty cool.

There was someone doing that right on site at the Luzerne County fair last year (Dallas area). This year the fair starts on Sept 5 (Weds). The organizers might know who it was.

There's a guy on Route 6 in Shohola, between Milford & Honesdale. Not a real big place but he has a bunch of stuff out front next to his driveway with one of those pop-up canopys.

I don't think that one is still there. It was right around the corner from me in Swiftwater – right before Sanofi. The one on Route 940 I just saw this last week. He is pretty active and has a good collection. So far; I don't think anybody else has come up with one closer to the OP.

I know they do wood carvings at Knobels. Last year they had a long table made from a huge tree with a bear carving standing at the end of it. i wanted it so bad because it looks like you can play beer pong with the bear =P

This stuff is so cool and interesting! I've seen this - I think at Knoebels and elsewhere in PA. It;s a true form of regional folk art.

Love it!
