Log carving

[huntersforge]

Was out a walk along my local woodland walk this morning and was met with a pleasant surprise of a large carved log at one of the viewing points . Whoever carved the images on the log is a true craftsman and is a very welcome addition to the area .

That is a superb bit of carving and so nice it doubles as a bench in such nice surrounding as well.

Wow good find

Does it fit in the car boot ?

Looks like it may be a comisioned piece by a chainsaw carver, very nice indeed.

That's brilliant, where is it at? There are quite a few bits of art like that in the Lakes, but they're all a few years old now.
Whilst I appreciate the efforts of the various landowners / trusts / commissions etc to commission new works of art that are accessible to the public in places that encourage them to get out into the countryside, many of them seem to think that once they have a piece of carved wood in a certain location, then that's it for twenty years.
What they don't seem to understand is that as an outdoor, organic piece of art changes in response to the material that it's made from and it's environment, it needs to be complemented by something else, whether it be an improvement to the locality since the original work was introduced or other works in the area that fit in with the landscape.


Cheers, Michael.
