Woodlouse carver at Weird and Wonderful Wood?

Morning all....

 

I'm feeling a bit embarrassed- I bought a really lovely Woodlouse (with steel legs and and antennae, carved from Sweet Chestnut) when we visited Weird and Wonderful Wood a few weeks back. The place was packed and to my shame I didn't get the details of the folks who made him.

 

Does anyone in Suffolk know who his parents are? He came with me to a show as the business mascot, and he was the most popular thing on the stand!

Awesome Hi there yourself! I'm based on the outer fringes of Knepp if you want to drop by for a cuppa and a mooch....

 

The Floral Fringe is a great little show

i like this slater (as they call woodlouse up here)... its a nice twist on the more usual design. I carve them with the legs underneath but dont add the metalwork. But the metal legs definitely add to teh design. Might give it a go soemtime

We call them binnies at our house because they were always there when you move the bin on the yard
