Curvy Oak

[PostDestruction]

Hello all,

 

I posted a similar post in the chainsaw carving section a while ago with no luck so am trying here.

 

I am looking for a 2 m curved Oak log, 0.8 m minimum diameter.

 

It is for a public art commission which you can see details of here: Portal Project

 

I have four of the five sections but am really struggling to find a good curved log for the final section. I have attached a photo of the perfect tree which laughs at me every day on my regular dog walk. It is perfectly healthy and I think the locals would be quite upset with me if I felled it in the middle of the night, but if things get desperate...

 

Thanks, Philip.

Hi Philip,
What are you paying for a piece?

As little as possible of course! For the right piece I am allowing £750 delivered.

A fair price. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Might have to to pop over to my local estate buddy and see if he has anything. Delivery from Scotland might kill it though.

Might as well ask the landowner? That curved butt would only go for firewood anyhow!

 

we are close if you need a contractor to fell and move the timber.
