Today's installation

[wisewood]

Carved this guy a couple of months back for a local trail, he went in with no problems thankfully.

Wedges will be trimmed off and the surrounding area will be landscaped so it will hopefully look like the tree was always there.

The guy was a famous asparagus farmer and he is now looking out over the fields he once farmed.

Thanks Bill, and thanks David.

Been about four weeks all told, there was some additional work stabilizing some rot and fitting a wind up audio unit in the back of the slab.

Yeah don't you just hate people as artistic as that!!

All I can say is "bloody brilliant"

I would love to be half as good but my artistic talents are non existent so carving will never be on my agenda.

I admire and envy all of you that can.
