Carving unveiled at North Kitsap Medical Center
Local firm Inovest, owned and operated by Tracyton resident Robin Waite, has unveiled a rare carving at its North Kitsap Medical Center.
The basis of the carving, a 60-foot, second-growth cedar slated to be completely cut down, has been transformed by “Bear in a Box,” another local firm (www.bearinabox.com/default.php).
“The tree was dying from the top down and we felt it was important to somehow salvage this tree,” Waite said. “The carver, a fine man named George Kenny, asked for us to leave him 12 feet to do the carving, which we did.”
The carving cost $1,500 and took two full days.
The carving can be seen in Poulsbo on the medical center grounds at the intersection of State Highway 305 and Bond Road.
