I've been nice and busy so thought I would put a few pics up for those of you who don't facebook.
Most are finished works although some are works in progress. look out for future updates on the Asparagus Trail at National Trust, Formby.

Crook O'Lune Otters

First job for the new year, carving two otters for Lancaster County Council as part of the redevelopment of the picnic area at the Crook O'Lune. The first otter carved will stand four foot tall once sited in the ground as if emerging from the water(grassed area). The second, still being carved will be an eight foot otter lying down

School memorial bench

Carved in remembrance of a forest school teacher at a local school, and sited at the entrance to their woods.

Moving with the times

This is my first post in a long while so time for a catch up.
I have moved from the cosy barn at the composting site to a temporary yard with the National Trust.
Being right on the coast has given me the opportunity to forage the flotsam and jetsam washed ashore. These characters emerged from some hefty driftwood logs and stumps from last weeks beach combing.
The strong winds today may bring new finds next week!

Carve Carrbridge this Saturday

Heading up to Scotland tomorrow in readiness for the chainsaw carving event at Carrbridge on Saturday. Well worth a look, there's some great carvers competing and if you fancy taking away one of the finished pieces bring your cheque book :) Maybe I'll see some of you there.
