Tree Spirit

[NorfolknGood]

Thanks gents for all your kind comments.

 

Grey it had been left as a large stump due to it's sister tree alongside it having root issues and falling over.

very nice work.

 

would say though that just because the neighbor had issues doesn't always follow, if that was the case there would be no forests!

 

wont ask who advised!

Council.

 

I would not have carved into a healthy and complete tree. The carving is in memory and tribute to the ladies husband who sadly passed away some time ago. He loved both the trees and was quite a spiritual man. I hope I captured "spirit at peace".

council? pffff

V glad you have the right ethos thought, carving into a living tree (in my, not very, humble opinion) is just wrong and likely to significantly increase the chances of infection

love the spirit mate, even despite the nail-issue

much damage to the chain?

[FriarsGorse]

Superb ... you should be well chuffed with that.

The chain damage was minimal, I rarely lean on my chain so it cut through the nail very slow and just took the edge off, I was able to fettle it up on site and use it again.

 

I was quite pleased with the finished carving, the customer was so pleased she over paid as an extra thank you
