Totem Pole initiated August 2015. This page displays a totem pole sculpture project Chip is currently completing for a friend. The pole is the trunk of a cedar tree from a local farm in Davidson County, NC. It is approximately 15 feet long. Five feet at the narrower end will be below ground, leaving the top 10 feet for the sculptured pole. Additional pictures will be added as the project proceeds. The expected last photos will be the installation event.
