A Giant Chainsaw Carving was Recently Delivered to a Resort on the Oregon Coast - The question is: Is it a Sign or is it Art? Does the Sign Ordinance Apply? Giant Chainsaw Carvings Can Work Where Signs Cannot - For Hotels, Resorts, Casinos, Banks, and Stores
A giant chainsaw carved sea captain worked where a sign wouldn't. Chainsaw Carvings can avoid sign ordinances, are affordable, and attract attention. This giant Sea Captain chainsaw carving was made for a resort in Oregon.
(PRWEB) July 8, 2005 -- A resort on the Oregon Coast needed an eye catcher. A
large sign was out of the question. What other options did they
have?
Over Father's Day weekend, a giant chainsaw carved sea captain
arrived on their property (http://www.bearinabox.com). The sea captain installation drew
crowds and became the talk of the town. The sea captain will continue to draw
crowds for years to come, as it is unique and very large.
According to
the resort owner, "We had a smaller sea captain and it drew so many people that
we knew we wanted a giant one to really attract attention. We have been amazed
at the number of times our property has been photographed, as the sea captain's
backdrop is our resort. And, surprisingly, it wasn't very expensive."
The
carving was made by the George Kenny School of Chainsaw Carving near Seattle.
They have created hundreds of monument sized carvings over the years. The giant
carvings have been chainsaw carved and delivered to hotels, motels, resorts,
banks, casinos, and stores.
Those is the hotel and resort industry have
been particularly receptive to the idea of having very large chainsaw carvings
displayed in front of their properties. The carvings are typically much less
expensive than bronze or metal work. The subject matter can range from modern to
traditional. Really, the sky is the limit.
Interested parties can call
the school at 360-710-5250 or check the website, www.bearinabox.com. Not only
does the school provide carvers who can create these massive carvings, they are
able to perform shows and events along with the delivery. It just adds to the
excitment and promotion of the property.
