Chainsaw Sculptor Carves out a National Profile

National Geographic on Thursday will begin airing "American Chainsaw," a show featuring sculptor Jesse Green. His works include "Mrs. Pine" outside Mac Med Spa and Salon.

Jesse Green has made a living for 15 years carving tree trunks and stumps into whimsical characters and creatures. If you live in Milford, you know Mrs. Pine. If you live in Bellingham, it's Paul Bunyan; in Holliston, Casey at the Bat. Memorial School in Medfield has "Moose" and "Duck."

A Makeover for Miss Pine

Miss Pine, the sculptural woman's figure carved from a 60-foot pine on the Mac Med Salon property, is looking a little pale this week.

Miss Pine is a woman people in Milford either love or hate. A quirky landmark to some, an eyesore in Pepto-Bismol pink to others. This week, it's hard not to notice she's lost some of her famous color. Painters covered her in primer. A makeover is coming soon. Debbie MacDonald, owner of Mac Med Salon, who had the scultpure made from a 60-foot pine on the property, is thinking flesh tones with gold highlights, perhaps. We'll just have to wait and see how she turns out.
