The Charlie Brown Tree, which we also call the Peanuts Tree, is a tall tree stump at Magic Pines, our place on Cannon Lake, carved with Peanuts characters climbing toward Snoopy’s red doghouse on top. Adam Gale of Rust n’ Grain carved it. I posted the carving in progress, Charlie Brown holding Snoopy emerging from the wood, on 2020-05-24, and the tree in the snow in Weekly Thing 163 that October. The project page has videos.
Logs left over from the tree became Escher-inspired carved log tables for the fire area in 2021, another Rust n’ Grain project. In May 2025 I made the tree the site of my first location-based POAP, which visitors could mint by standing beside it.
