Title: Building a 25-Foot Fishing Sasquatch: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Have you ever wondered how a 25-foot tall Sasquatch is built? Well, wonder no more! The Bear Hollow Wood Carvers, a group of talented chainsaw artists, have taken on the challenge of creating a giant Sasquatch, and we have the inside scoop on how they did it.
The project began with the idea of having Sasquatch fishing, inspired by the beautiful white pine forest surrounding the lodge where the team was staying. The team cut down a 35-foot tall white pine tree to use as the fishing pole, and the branches naturally formed a perfect shape for the fishing line.
The team consisted of several experienced chainsaw artists, including Joseph Stebbing, who has been carving for 20 years, and Jason Stoner, who has been carving full-time for 11 years. Lucas Pennington and Bubba Daniel, who had experience building a Bigfoot in Tennessee, also joined the team.
The construction of the Sasquatch required a lot of teamwork and creativity. The artists used various techniques to create the different parts of the Sasquatch, such as using chainsaws to carve the body and hands, and using woodworking tools to create the fishing pole and other details.
One interesting aspect of the project was the use of a "happy accident" in the design. The rings on the white pine tree created a unique texture that made it look like the fishing pole was made of different materials stuck together.
The team worked together to create a cohesive design, with each artist contributing their own ideas and skills. The result was a stunning 25-foot tall Sasquatch, complete with a fishing pole and a detailed face.
But the project wasn't just about building a giant Sasquatch. It was also about bringing together a group of talented artists and creating something truly special. As one of the artists, Phillip, put it, "If you want to surround yourself with some great groups of people, this is it. The group of guys here just really push you and strive to be a better person and a better artist all the way around."
The Sasquatch project was a testament to the power of creativity, teamwork, and a little bit of magic. It's a reminder that even the most impossible-seeming projects can become a reality with the right group of people.
