From Surf Dogs Surf A Thon event at Del Mar dog beach, we stopped at Anderson Canyon just north of Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego. Recently, an award-winning woodworking artist Tim Richards transformed a red Torrey Pine into a piece of art.
Torrey Pine is the rarest pine in the United States . Torrey Pines are native to coastal hills and bluffs in the Del Mar area of southern California and to Santa Rosa Island.
Definitely a unique way to transform a dead Torrey Pine.
The dead Torrey Pine stump is now called Sunset Seat. A stump where people can sit, look and enjoy the scenic ocean view. A carved red-tailed hawk, official bird of Torrey Pines Reserve, is attached to the stump.
Many locals and tourists are admiring Tim Richards art piece. We were informed that another beetle-damaged Torrey Pine on Coastal Rail Trail (City of Solana Beach) is Tim Richards next woodcarving art project.
What do you think of Tim Richard’s Sunset Seat?
Beautiful.
That is gorgeous, what talent!! Thanks for sharing!
What a cool carving! And a beautiful spot!
Wow, that’s an amazing carving and work of art. Sugar doesn’t seem to mind a bit with it perched just above her head, lol!
That is just beautiful. I hope Tales from the Backroad sees this post. Her husband is an incredible artist too.
