Description
"Olaf Wood Carving" --Chainsaw Carving by Doug Kreuger
--Inspired by the Disney snowman character, "Olaf" from the Walt Disney Pixar animated movie "Frozen". And since Olaf is known to love warm summer sunshine, as much as winter, he appears perfectly happy year 'round in our backyard.
--Carved from the trunk of a dead autumn purple ash tree for the enjoyment of my 7 young grandchildren---Summer of 2015
Approximate Dimensions---excluding tree stump pedestal: 14" dia. x 48" tall

Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks again Nava! My grandkids all love him... So do their parents! Our 16-month-old granddaughter who is here through the Holidays, waves hello to him every morning, and several times during the day. I'm planning to upload a Winter Olaf, soon.

He does seem extra happy---- :) --- like his hair---
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks again Nava! He must be happy, he hasn't moved from his spot for a second! I like his hair, too, I just wouldn't want the holes drilled to have twigs stuck in… LOL…

Doug---hope you were wearing mittens while carving Olaf!
Doug Kreuger replied:
Thanks Nava! —No mittens… Leather gloves at times, but rest assured, they were not deerskin gloves. (-:
