Wooden outdoor sculptures have captivated audiences for centuries, blending artistry with nature's raw beauty. Among the most renowned is the *Vigeland Installation* in Oslo, Norway, featuring over 200 hand-carved wooden figures by Gustav Vigeland, later cast in bronze. Another masterpiece is Japan's *Tōdai-ji Temple's Nio Guardians*, towering wooden statues protecting the sacred site since the 8th century.

In the U.S., the *Chain Saw Bears* scattered across forests and parks showcase the rustic charm of chainsaw-carved wildlife. Meanwhile, Poland’s *Święty Kamień (Holy Stone)* combines wood and stone in a mystical folk-art creation. These sculptures not only highlight cultural heritage but also demonstrate wood’s enduring appeal as a medium for monumental art. From religious icons to modern abstractions, wooden sculptures continue to inspire awe in open-air settings worldwide.
