Gorgeous. Incredible. Amazing. Art. Off a rural highway in East Texas. He who wields a chainsaw, Rick Kuper, does so with the most creative and inspiring of intentions. His workspace, a near-fort, or cabin itself. The surrounding woods holding a strong piney embrace around it all. You can do nothing as you wheel on by, then pull in off the highway, as your hands will do almost uncontrollably and yet seemingly instinctually, as mind and body are acting on the cooperating and yet equal accords of curiosity and intellectual stimulation. You will find something here that you must have, and you will see in your thoughts just the perfect place for it back in your domicile or wherever you spend a good bit of time. And the great thing about pieces like this, besides invaluable uniqueness, in that each piece is handmade and painted, and absolutely different from the other, is that each piece has a story to tell. The story of the tree that it came from. Where it was found. How it was shaped, formed. How it became what you now see. Mr. Kuper will tell you. And then you will also have your own story to tell. About this unique piece that you happened upon, in a very unique place, and the unique man who created it, and passed it on to you. And it is all of these things that makes each piece invaluable to those that come across them on Hwy 79 in East Texas. read more
