Panorama of log art at Umstead Park

Just off the Graylyn multi-use trail in William B. Umstead State Park, a fallen red oak tree that measures approximately 25 feet long and several feet high has been transformed into art. Jerry Redi and Randy Boni of Smoky Mountain Art spent a week using chainsaws to cut and carve depictions of animals, tree branches, and leaves into the wood.
