Full description
This guy is carved from a piece of wood salvaged from Knighton in Powys while on holiday recently. Outside of the cottage we stayed in some kind tree surgeons cut down some trees and left some wonderful pieces for a carver like me.
For the uninitiated Knighton is situated on the Powys and Shropshire border. Offa's Dyke runs through Knighton and is home to the Offa's Dyke Centre.
Its a large wall hanging piece that offers an imposing presence to any room.
He stands 16" tall and 10" across the span of the forks. The carving itself is 7 1/2" including hair and the face spans the thickness of the trunk at 2 1/2" wide
He is carved from green wood and wont be completely dry for a while yet. Ive left him unfinished to aid the drying out process. Perversely I hope splits and shakes embellish this carving as it dries. As such he's an indoor carving.
The pyrography links this piece to Celtic times through the symbolism here one of the images is of two Hawks demonstrating freedom and success
I love the detail that emerged from this carving, the stain highlighting the hair and features. I use a light oak Danish oil finish
A sturdy wire is attached to hang the carving from
