What to make?

[Kepis]

with this lovely bit of Hawthorn, six inch rule added for scale

No, i didnt fell the tree just to get this, it was a tree that had been previously taken down by a load of yobs and left where it fell, so, i figured id save as much of the timber as i could and make something good out of their idiocy.

Could have some nice chess pieces from that.

Nothing at all... it's lovely just as it is

Thats what im inclined to do i think.

Theres a lot of ritual significance to a May tree. Theres a carving in that trying to get out

 

[WULF]

Me too! its wonderful as it is.....nature is just great

you could make a promise log but taking the bark off and then carving in to the twisted bits the line

"to my beautiful wife ______ i promise to love care and protect you for ever and always"

and give your good wife or partner this as a romantic present

signed Drew's mum jean

ps he will probably kill me for this soppy suggestion but revenge is sweet

As is, is the way forward!
I only have a 12" ruler, no need for a 6" one mate

Brilliant.

 

[HillBill]

I'd be inclined to say a carving of a serpent coiled around something, as to me thats almost what it looks like anyway

 

[Harvestman]

What a gorgeous piece of wood.

Dunno what to make though, but it will probably just look special with the bark removed.

Just wondering whether splitting it lengthways and then carving out the inside of the spirals would give you a compartmented serving bowl - the kind of thing for serving nibbles at parties, only nicer. Beyond my skill, but maybe not yours.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

Brilliant.

so u liked my mums idea of revenge then

 

[Kepis]

Thanks for the ideas people, certainly given me food for thought

How about i make a promise log for Drew to give to you and he can tell me the promise he will make to you, that will be carved into it

Ohhh... that's mean Kepis

 

[Kepis]

Ohhh... that's mean Kepis

yup .

 

[British Red]

but very, very col...and funny

 

[addo]

I like it as it is also, but...
How about sawing it lengthways, removing the bark (or bark on might be better with stripped ash poles either side) and you would have two centre uprights to the back of two matching rustic chairs. A lot of work but would look great.
