Carved Lime Stump

[Gnarlyoak]

Spotted this carving outside a Chiropractor's practice in Sale, Sth. Manchester. Apologies for the really poor pics, taken with a really crap phone.

Very appropriate to have a spine made out of the "Spine" of a tree!

According to the vid it's oak. One of Tim Burgess's great works.

Cheers Wisewood. I do remember that item on the local news from a couple of years ago, but last week was the 1st time I had seen it in the flesh so to speak. Credit rightly given to Tim Burgess for this masterpiece.

 

My mistake for calling it a Lime stump, came to that conclusion due to three lime trees that stand next to this carving.
