Around this time last year I started on the Monkey Puzzle panels for the woodland walk at Sewerby Hall, Bridlington, and I’m back again. A lot has happened in the intervening months, and I’d intended to be doing this job around Easter time, so it’s good to be back at last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge beech tree had fallen over in recent times, and had been cut into sections of varying shapes and sizes. I enlisted the help of my pal Adam Forster (http:\/\/adamforster.net\/<\/a>) to cut the logs ~ three of the seven were earmarked for benches, whilst the more interesting trunks were given flat faces for large areas of carving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These carvings are to differ from the others at Sewerby ~ the Monkey Puzzle panels each featured some wildlife accompanied by a line of verse or a quote, whilst these will be more “sensory”, with carvings in deep relief incorporating different shapes and textures. The log benches will be more simple, with a shallow carving on the back rest so as not to impede comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a coastal area, the theme for these carvings is the sea and the wildlife in and around it. I started off with a carving of a pair of cod fish, seaweed and shells…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This log has a nice natural step, or shelf on the back ~ perfect for photo opportunities, and I’ve witnessed many already; one of the first was taken by the Harrison family, who kindly sent me this lovely picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
