These are amazing, I thought they were worthy of passing along.

These are made from the trees that died after Hurricane Ike.

Since the storm, a lot of old oak trees died. This is some of the pictures of the remains of those dead tree trucks.
Tree stumps in Galveston are shaping up nicely

Jim Phillips, 17th & Post Office. The toad? The Tin Man? The Dalmatian? It's hard to choose a favorite among the tree sculptures that are carving a new beginning for Galveston Island . The transformation of tree skeletons that were reminders of Hurricane Ike's 2008 devastation is another sign of the island's recovery. And tourists love the chain-saw and chisel artwork. More than 20 tree-stump sculptures can be viewed from sidewalks and streets, and more are joining the list as commissions are completed. Many of the carvings are by Galveston artist Earl Jones, Houston artist Jim Phillips
and Dayle Lewis of Richmond , Ind. The artists have plenty of potential work. About 40,000 of the island's trees died after they were swamped by storm waters. Contractors cut down the dead trees and left the stumps, which are becoming dogs, angels, dolphins, toads, mermaids and more.
Here's a list of Galveston Island Tree Sculptures visible from the street, according to www.cityofgalveston.org: Geisha, 1717 Ball Mermaid holding clam shell, 1428 Church Large pelican, 1609 Post Office Wildlife tree inside the
