crap and expensive at the same time!

[dervishcarving]

check out this website... mass produced crap advertised as sculptures..

outdoorclassrooms.co.uk

the product range is a pdf and , well, its

a rip off i think

1m tall bear for 400 quid! and it looks like something i did when i was trying to learn.. no details, just painted on.

200 quid for 6 'stump seats'...which are literally just a short length of log sanded smooth!

irritates me that this is the kind of tat that primary schools and the like buy thinking its the best option.

Business is business. Nothing wrong with making money. It's pricey perhaps but then no-one will buy it; only worth what someone will pay...

 

Set up in competition if you can do better.

If you think those works of art are expensive, you should have seen some of the offerings at the Chelsea flower show.

One exhibitor had made a horse out of what looked like bits of bark, sticks and the stuff you normally have lying around on a site after you have brought a tree down. Asking price £23,000

I did a bench for a forest school a while back and they had one of their catalogues. The price may reflect their web presence investment. No doubting these guys have good business heads, but I'd agree that the products are a little disapointing.

its the disappointing quality that gets me. its for a school, they are all short on cash so giving them poor value for money irritates me

maybe i just like to give value for money....
