Carved in 2011 by Nathan "Potlicker" Nuszkiewicz, who lives in Rhinelander, Wisconsin (home of the Hodag monster). The back side of the tree has a carved image of six-year-old Willie Dickinson, who vanished on his way home from school in 1881. He haunts the Chippewa Club behind the tree, which was his home at the time.
