Carvers in Suffolk

[Andy Gentle]

Quoted to remove a big Cedar today and leaving a 10ft butt for a sculpture/carving was discussed. Don't really know the costs involved or who does it in Suffolk. I know there is one group but it would be usefull to know a little more info etc about what can be done and costs as tis always an option to present to clients rather than total removal/stump grind.

Is the company you're thinking of 'Hearts of Oak'? My wife has worked before with Ben Platts Mills a few years ago on a tree totem in Sudbury:

 

Ben Platts-Mills

 

He subsequently was involved in setting up Hoo - a group of carvers. We're just in the process of commissioning some stuff from them for a play area project. Perhaps the best thing to do is take a look at the work of the individual carvers - or indeed any other artists you come across and if you like what they do, ask for a quote.
