Looking for Aspen Trunk

[Jedabiah]

Hi all,

 

I work for a tv production company in Bristol and I'm looking for a section of Aspen trunk (ideally 3-4 m long and around 18 inches in diameter) to build a set with. Anyone on here got something that might do the job? 

 

I know it can be quite rare but have been told arbtalk would be the place to ask; hopefully we'll get lucky! Distance isn't necessarily an issue, if you have something please get in touch and we can have a think about how to get it to Bristol. Give me a ring on 07412 408148 or ping me an email at [email protected]

 

Cheers!

Jed

Why an aspen trunk in particular?

Ahh it has to match up closely to some trees shot on location. Our initial thoughts were maybe to use a similar, more readily available species but we don't think that they would look accurate enough unfortunately

Do you need it in a hurry? We have aspen in local wood which will be felled but as it's SSSI not possible until September.

Got a couple of likely candidates but I am in Suffolk!

 

Fairfax, my headless apprentice is included for scale.

Is he related to " Headless Nick " in one of the Harry Potter yarns ?

I'll have to ask him, he's a bit hard of hearing mind.

Can you ask him in braille ?

That worked a treat Stubby, although my braille is a little rusty.

 

I think he said "Six sheets of A4 and a pickled egg."
