I was just as amazed at the treetop treasures.<\/p>\n<p>The Enchanted Forest is tucked away on a side street in Warsaw, accessed from Wallace Street or The Bounds. There are no glaring signs that mark its entrance, no roadside advertisements as visitors get close. It\u2019s truly a hidden gem, its entrance marked only by the face of the Wood Spirit, which was creator Tom Rhodes\u2019 first carving in the forest.<\/p>\n<p>A retired Virginia Department of Transportation engineer who served for 22 years as the highway resident engineer for the Northern Neck, Rhodes bought an 11.5-acre tract of wooded land on Wallace Street in 1986 where he and his wife had originally planned to build a home and retire. He has carved and whittled since he was a child and in 2004 took that hobby to a grander scale, carving his Wood Spirit into a tree at the entrance to his property.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-soft\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#004d00;border-radius:3px;max-width:none\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#008000;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Where?<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\"><b>Address:<\/b>\u2028 211 Wallace St., Warsaw, Virginia<br \/>\nThe forest may also be accessed from The Bounds Parking on site<br \/>\n<b>Cost:<\/b> Free<br \/>\n<b>Operating Hours:<\/b>\u00a0Dawn-dusk<\/div><\/div>\n<p>He explained that the superstition of knocking on wood for good luck stems from an ancient belief that spirits live in trees, and if you knock on the tree, you were seeking help from the good spirits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got the luck, I\u2019m waiting for the wisdom,\u201d said Rhodes, who\u2019s more than happy to give a guided tour of the forest if visitors are lucky enough to catch him there either repairing or creating a new carving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome I do almost daily, painting them. Some will go five or six years without any attention,\u201d said the active octogenarian.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3231\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3231\" src=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tom-rhodes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tom-rhodes.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tom-rhodes-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tom Rhodes kneels beside his favorite carving, his Tree Deer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the small forest entrance, Rhodes has a hand-written map, with a drawing of the trails. His carvings are noted with an X. Some are tricky to spot.<\/p>\n<p>They total 91 in all, including the latest additions Jack Skellington of the Nightmare Before Christmas, Russian cartoon character Cheburashka, Elsa from Frozen, Disney\u2019s Dumbo, a seahorse and an oyster shell.<\/p>\n<p>He has fine-tuned his craft and can create a tree carving from start to finish, including chiseling and painting, in about five hours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m almost always working on a new one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The 84-year-old creates a template or pattern first for shape and size. \u201cI\u2019m not an artist. I\u2019m not talented that way at all. I don\u2019t have any skills,\u201d he says modestly. His creations\u2014with intricacy and attention to detail\u2014tell a different story.<\/p>\n<p>His characters are whimsical and fun, even his slithering snake makes visitors smile rather than cringe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything here is nice and friendly, even the bat and tarantula,\u201d said Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p>All the carvings start out an inch deep into the tree. Visitors can spot the newer carvings by their depth of the halo surrounding the character. Rhodes has to cut the halos back about every three years as the tree grows over the carvings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3230\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3230\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3230\" src=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kids-with-ninja-turtle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kids-with-ninja-turtle.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kids-with-ninja-turtle-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rivahguide.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/kids-with-ninja-turtle-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cousins Otto Smith and Thomas Rhodes were excited to find a Ninja Turtle hiding in the woods. Photo courtesy of Sean Rhodes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before beginning the forest, Rhodes consulted with the state arborist to ensure he wouldn\u2019t harm the trees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told if I damage less than half the circumference of a tree, I wouldn\u2019t damage the tree. So I\u2019ve tried to keep it to less than a third of the circumference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Rhodes added more carvings to the forest, public interest increased and it quickly became a destination for families, school groups and field trips. The forest, which he calls his therapy, is open dawn til dusk and is free. It\u2019s never been about making money, but more about spreading joy through his gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally, it\u2019s always open. The woods never close,\u201d he said. \u201cBring a flashlight and search for [the carvings]. Just don\u2019t have a party or burn the woods down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rhodes sold the acreage five years ago to a local realtor, who graciously has decided not to develop the tract but instead allows Rhodes to maintain it as the magical forest it is.<\/p>\n<p>Although a few trees have been lost to natural circumstances, Rhodes has preserved the carvings. A chunk of tree containing a bald eagle is mounted to the back of a small storage shed on the property. It was one of his rescues. The property owner has five or six others.<\/p>\n<p>The forest is also home to carvings of a few Virginia state symbols\u2014the cardinal, dogwood and tiger swallowtail butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s about a mile of twisting trails through the dense woods, where art meets nature and wonderment comes to life, where cartoon characters pop out of the trees and superheroes reside. Try to find them all in the twisted maze that is Richmond County\u2019s best kept secret.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A walk in the woods takes on a whole new meaning in Warsaw where a path in The Enchanted Forest leads hikers on a magical quest.
