- Note
- Pictured is a detail from "Below the spires of Three-Fingered Jack," the right panel of a tryptich. Depicted is a Civilian Conservation Corps crew constructing a lookout tower, with an old "crows nest" lookout atop a tree beside it. In the mist railway surveyors and their pack animals are at work. The work is carved from 1 in. Oregon cedar. Its creators were Art Cough (designer and lead carver), Ross McClure (first assistant), and Jim de Broekart (apprentice). Art Clough was born in Wisconsin in September 1891 and died in Lane County, Oregon, in 1977. He was a wood carver who taught art at Eugene Vocational School, Eugene, Oregon, in the 1930s and 1940s.
