When a cottonwood tree in front of the East Dundee library was hit by lightning earlier this year, the easy solution would have been to remove what was left and call it a day. But library officials had another thought: maybe it could be turned into art.

This was all that remained of the tree struck by lightning in front of the library branch in East Dundee - the place where Chris and Brianne Hubbart started when they began work creating their chainsaw artwork. Brianne Hubbart said this was their third project featuring foxes since launching their carving business, Hubbart Wood, in 2015. It started when Chris cleared some trees on their property in order to receive internet service and transformed the stumps into art.
Another memorable job was one in which they carved Bugs Bunny dressed as a magician pulling Looney Tunes animator Chuck Jones from of a hat,and included the couple’s three children assisting on the project. The tree used dates back to 1976, when the library was built, Finneran said. It was cut down to about six feet after the lightning strike and had a circumference of about 10 feet.
