Experience the timeless beauty of these individually hand-carved sculptures as they are crafted at many of our shows this year. Purchase one and they will create a lasting impression in your home, conservatory or garden.
Each piece is made from reclaimed timber obtained from a number of sustainable sources throughout England. The wood is hand selected from sawmills, salvage, tree surgery's and garden clearance specialists for its character, colour and suitability for carving.
All pieces are crafted with a chainsaw and hand finished. The natural colours and forms of the wood are used to enhance the finished product, which can be supplied oiled or in its natural state according to your taste. The sculptures are made from durable soft and hardwoods that are equally suited to the home, conservatory or garden and will mature with age.
Chainsaw carving is an exciting feature at all of Living Heritage's Game and Country Fairs and can be found within the rural crafts demonstration area of the show.
