Hand carved bowls and sculpture

So much woodwork is done by machine.
Every so often there is this piece of wood that is just crying out to be something a little different.
Walnut root, ash burr and horse chestnut burr.
The ball is a stone composite.

Im not sure if Buckeye grows in the uk or if its under a different name, but the block was horse chestnut burr.

as you said , one beautiful block - i was given it by a friend who saved it from being buried - i suppose there must have been 15 cubic feet or thereabouts in big chunks.

That is one beautiful block of wood! (the one with the ball on it... Buckeye?)
