UNIQUE, LARGE HAND CARVED
DRIFTWOOD ART SCULPTURE
FROM THE SHORES OF
LOCH ETIVE, SCOTLAND.
Height 28 inches, Max width 13 inches, weight 4.7 kilos
I picked up this piece of driftwood from the shore of
Loch Etive in Argyll, Scotland some years ago.
I left it to dry thoroughly and then hand carved it
to remove the outside rotten wood revealing
the solid heart of the piece within.
I deliberately allowed the natural curves and flow of the grain
to dictate the final shape and then sanded, oiled and polished it.
I don’t know what type of tree this was, but it has a lovely warm,
honey glow and is very solid at nearly 5 kilos.
It is mounted on a base of solid Parana Pine.
I have been working in wood for over 50 years and
I am now retired and based in Argyll in the West of Scotland.
I am particularly pleased with this imposing piece,
as I hope the buyer will be.
Thank you for looking.
