Tommy Winn is an artist from North Carolina who travels around the eastern United States carving very special pieces of wood into unbelievable pieces of art/nature. Tommy, (if you'll recall) carved that Soldier at my Father's home in Salisbury last year and is back in town working with Bob Robinson from Tree Tech. He plans on being here for another two weeks finishing up some work he started a few days ago.
Tommy started working with a chain saw at 5 years old and felt a strong calling working with drift wood and creating art with it. The first picture above was done in Virginia Beach and took 8 months to create. The wing span on each Eagle is around 6 feet.
If you're interested in any of Tommy's work you can contact him at 434-738-8207. There's a possibility he may have some of his work at the new Marshall's Fruit Stand, should everything work out. Tommy said he'd love to put a smaller piece on that Pond right next to that location and leave his mark in Salisbury.

joe,
thanks for giving tommy this well deserved exposure. he's just realizing the full extent of his gift and can't wait to share it!!
Joe, I pass by your Fathers house often and can't go by without looking at the amazing work of art that your Dad had Tommy do. In addition, I have told several family members and friends to take a look. Your dad's patriotism should be shared on a national level. For those who have not seen this please take a moment to go by and reflect.
Now this is is the kind of post I enjoy!
make a funny obama head.
This is a talented artist. Thanks for showing us some of his work. I sure like this better than all those pictures of Bill Gordy's gas stations !!
