Project Information
I really enjoyed making this as the wood carved beautifully and took very fine detail. The wood was roughly triangular in cross section being thick and flat at the top and thin and sharp at the bottom. It was a bit of a challenge to fit the faces into the surfaces available. The design is a amalgam of shapes I have seen at various times that have been adapted to fit.
The wood is beech as far as I can tell. Originally pink-ish in colour with a fine grain. As the carving is intended to hang in a garden I have finished it with polyurethane. Not quite proper for carvings but at least the wood will get a little more durability.
