John Metzler was featured in City Paper just this past week, for his work in recycling downed trees into works of art. What an amazing man, artist, carpenter, engineer. His death is stunning - senseless. I cant believe it....terrible accident. I really enjoyed the City Paper article about him, wanted to see some of his art, and his death is really depressing, sad. A loss for our city.
John Metzler, a woodworker who transformed harvested trees into sculptures and furniture, was deeply engaged in the city's arts scene and was a regular at nearly any tree planting in the area, his friends said Friday.
Metzler, 46, of Beechview was killed Thursday night outside his Lincoln-Lemington business after he was struck by a U-Haul trailer that broke loose from a pickup truck. Metzler was using a chain saw and wearing earmuffs at the time and apparently stood little chance as the trailer bore down on him, police said.
