Carving takes shape

John Guagenti of On Track Carvings on Thursday works on his latest project in the northeast corner of Coldwater Memorial Park. He is carving a tree trunk into a 120 mm armor-piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot tank round as a tribute to the Army, he said. Earlier this summer he honored the Navy by carving an anchor from a tree near the swimming pool and plans yet this year to complete others for every military branch. His first project in the park - a statue of St. Francis of the Garden - is several yards away from his current one. He also has carved a large baseball bat near one of the diamonds.
