Old Boat Turned Into Replica

by | Feb 24, 2021 | Commissions

I was given some old oak from a Thames sailing boat that had set on fire and sank in Blakeney Quay (Norfolk) nearly a hundred years ago. 
With it I carved a bench from the oak, with a Thames sailing barge on one end.

This piece is based off a Lynn Kiln excavated in Chelmsford (the same site where I carved Henry VIII). The kiln itself was unearthed but had to remain underground in order to preserve it, but they wanted to have something in order to educate the public.

They called me down in order to carve a replica out of a big oak tree. It was my most challenging carving yet, made from an oak tree and a chainsaw

This piece is a wildlife protection bench on which I carved all sorts of creatures from hedgehogs, to ladybirds, to earwigs. This was a fantastic carving made from a challenging piece of cedar sourced in Saxmundham. The community was so delighted by my work that they asked me to come back and carve the rest of the cedar into a rabbit bench. As well as two lovely badgers who were for their Youth Football team as their mascots.
