Barber Denis Yushin has cut hair in some bizarre places, from underwater to atop an active volcano- even while paragliding! In 2015, brothers Alex and Brian Holmes survived not one, but two avalanches while skiing near Telluride, Colorado! Sculptor Dengding Rui Yao created a massive lion carved out of a single redwood tree trunk, on display in Wuhan, China.

A wood carving of a huge lion, called " Lion Oriental " is the newest sensation in the square Fortune Plaza Times Square in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, China. The huge animal was carved from a single trunk giant sequoia by renowned sculptor Dending Rui Yao and a team of twenty sculptors. The sculpture was made in Burma, and took three years to get ready, and then was transported by nearly 5,000 kilometers to the square in China, arriving in December 2015.

I never knew that redwoods and giant sequoia trees grew anywhere other than in California. So, both kinds of wood are fine for carving. Now you’ve got me wondering if eucalyptus wood is suitable for it; eucalyptus trees in Australia are right up there with California’s redwood and giant sequoia trees when it comes to height.
