Mr. Benson is a master carver and well known for his work in the restoration and re-carving of poles in Sitka National Monument. He attributed the development of his skills to his work on the large “monumental” poles during the CCC era. The Frog/ Raven Pole, Saanaheit Pole, Trader Legend Pole, and Waas’go Legend Pole were re-carved by George and his CCC team. These can still be seen in the park today, over 80 years later. Mr. Benson was not only a craftsman who carved replicas. He also proved himself as a skilled designer, with intimate knowledge of the concepts of Northwest Coast formline design elements. He is the designer of the “Baranof Pole” a feature in Sitka’s downtown “Totem Square”.
