Wood carvings sunnyhurst woods Darwen

Post by ultimatehandyman »

I know that I have not done this carving myself, but I thought I'd share the pictures of some wood carving from one of the local wooded areas in Darwen. Eddies totem pole has inspired a few people totem-pole-work-in-progress-t42877.html so I thought the pics might be of interest

The frog carving looks somewhat suggestive. Is it some sort of fertility symbol for the local lasses? :wink: :wink: :wink:

UHM, do you happen to know what wood was used?

It looks very stable, and almost plastic.

It's also good to note that no vandalism has occurred. I couldn't see that happening around here. :sad:

After visiting Ffwrwm Caerleon and Goytre Wharf at the weekend, I need to get my act together.

The dragon/love spoon was approx 40' long and carved from one piece of timber!!

Those are fantastic, oh to have not just the skill to do those but the imagination. I particularly liked the head with the hedge as hair and the chairs.



Cheers, John
