Wood Supply
People often ask where I get my wood from?
In the early years I used to collect odd bits of wood from tree surgeons who I knew. As time went on and people got to know about me and what I was up to they would say they had a tree that has fallen or is soon to be felled and if I wanted the wood they would be happy to let me take away for free or at relatively little expense.
Eventually work picked up more and more so I needed more wood on a regular basis I started to buy wood off fire wood suppliers and the occasional sawmill (But not to often as they were rather expensive especially if you mess up the carving ) fire wood suppliers being the best people as they had wood in all different shapes and sizes which was handy as I often had a sculpture in mind and to find the wood that was suited to that sculpture was very helpful indeed.
I recently have meet an estate manager who has many acres of wood land which is in need of management which is great as I can still chose the wood that I need whilst keeping a woodland in tip top shape encouraging new growth and helping to look after established wild life and hopefully encourage some new wildlife to come back into that area.
