My client today wanted a very stylised tree sculpture of a #moongazing #hare in a particular pose What do you reckon to the rippling effect - it sure took a long time but they are super pleased with the end result !!👌👌 #congleton #cheshire #madeincheshire

All.Done.Check out this 6’ wingspan #owl that I’ve made from a single piece of #cedar . The stump wasn’t suitable, so the decision was made to have an ‘add-on’. I made it in my barn and then firmly secured it in place. All that remained was to shape the joint.What do you reckon?!

@theJeremyVine I would have seen the van moving out, slowed down, let the van do its thing and pull out etc. Then I would have continued within the cycle lane. No need to cycle around. No need to come into contact with the pedestrian. No verbal interactions and everyone would go home happy !
