Locals were stunned when they spotted these amazingly beautiful sculpures in a Yorkshire woodland.

They are between ten and twenty feet tall and include an inticately designed dragon, kingfisher and red Indian figure.

They appeared about two months ago and no one owned to knowing anything about them or seeing them being carved.

Reporters approached the owner of the wooded area, David Brown, to see if he knew anything about them

Turns out that it was he who had commissioned award-winning British chainsaw tree sculptor Tommy Craggs, to create these mystical works of art. The former lumberjack, who only carves trees that are already on the ground or those that need to be felled, is a master at his profession and cherishes in going around the world, creating amazing works of art

Stuff like this is truly amazing. Have you seen the chalk man? He draws 3D on sidewalks and it is similarly amazing. Some people have remarkable talent.

  I love his work, might look a tad out of place on the drying green, but who cares! I'd love one.

Oohh, I love the green man! There is a chainsaw artist near me who carves mostly animal, and they aren't bad, but these are beautiful!

Do you know the person who carved them?
