The Country’s Tallest Cuckoo Clock

Portland International Airport-2014

In 2014 Travel Portland’s Winter Ad campaign displayed a 24 foot tall cuckoo clock to greet visitors at Portland International Airport. The clock was made from a single Oregon maple tree and carved by chainsaw artist Chester Armstrong.

The clock is no longer on exhibit but Sasquatch is still greeting passengers while reading a book of poetry. The sculpture is located in the baggage claim area near the Welcome Center.
