This morning
Tree sculptor Tommy Craggs puts the finishing touches on a Montreal Cyprus tree on the corner of St. Anne’s Park in Raheny, Dublin 5 commissioned by Dublin City Council.
Tommy began work on the project for three weeks in Autumn last year and has spent another two weeks this year finishing the project. It is believed the tree Is close to 200 years old.
Tommy worked in forestry until taking up sculpting nine years ago.
In fairness.

Looks like that didn’t cost a lot……….
Sounds like you’re a philistine….
Amazing piece of work!
And everyone’s first thought is “that’s amazing…hopefully they don’t wreck it within a week”
That was exactly my first thought… unfortunately.

“It is believed the tree Is close to 200 years old.”
was?
No, it’s still the same tree. Just in a slightly different form.
Pretty impressive stuff. Just wondering, though, whether the tree was dead, diseased, or in danger of doing some damage?
As far as I know the tree has wood rot in it
thanks Darragh, I was wondering same
Tommy Craggs, excellent tree sculptor name. Almost mafia-like.
Hey maybe me get Tommy Craggs in and eh, you know… sculpt you a tree, know what I’m talkin’ bout?
There’s a body in the trunk!
that man knows nothing about style, Paul Costello now there’s a man who can style a piece of wood
Ha!
it’ll be in flames come halloween
You think it will last until Halloween? For once, you’re being optimistic
You clearly know nothing about combustible wood
So cool!
Absolutely magnificent! Salutations and kudos to this young artist – you warm my heart, and astonish me.
Better put it behind glass before the scrotes torch it
Looks alot bigger in real life, really makes an impact.
