Video: World's Largest Wooden Bigfoot Sculpture Unveiled in South Dakota

By Tim Binnall

A talented chainsaw artist in South Dakota has created what is believed to be the world's tallest wooden Bigfoot sculpture. According a local media report, the monstrous piece was unveiled over the weekend at the community of Keystone's 'Bigfoot Bash' event. The man behind the enormous Sasquatch is Jarrett Dahl, who began fashioning the individual parts of the sculpture out of pieces of pine, cedar and cottonwood back in October. Alongside a crew of workers from Kentucky, he assembled the complete sculpture over the course of eight days.

At the 'Bigfoot Bash,' the Keystone Chamber of Commerce measured the artwork and determined that it is "exactly 22.8 feet from sitting on his butt to the top of his head." The epic size of the statue has the community feeling confident that can now boasting having the "world's largest wooden chainsaw sculpture of Bigfoot." While they very well may hold that specific record, it's worth noting last month's unveiling of 'Gasquatch' in Oklahoma, which measures a whopping 30 feet tall and, therefore, likely still holds the title for the world's tallest depiction of Bigfoot.
