Chainsaw mastery: Artist carves tree into gigantic human hand

WALES, U.K. - British artist Simon O'Rourke has used a chainsaw to carve trees into just about everything - lions, angels, dragons, knights, dogs, Batman, gigantic human hands... he's done all of them.

His recent sculpture, titled the Giant Hand of Vyrnwy, measures 50 feet tall and was carved from what was formerly the tallest tree in Wales.
