Using leftover scraps of pine from a log cabin build, West Virginia native Terry Phillips carved an incredible trophy buck that if real, would have netted 240+ inches typical! What makes his feat even more impressive is that this was Terry’s first ever attempt at carving! His wife Mary passed along images of his journey (which took six months) that we’re sharing with you. Enjoy!

    Mr. Phillips:

    As a fellow wood carver and friend of other carvers who do similar work, I'd sure like to converse with you on the subject.

    Best regards, Allan Schwindt

    What? No drop tine? If he can do this with a few leftover scraps I'd love to see the cabin with the actual good wood.
