Default west kennet long barow
This is going to be my interpretation of West Kennet long Barow it follows on from my Henge it's a birch log that is still a bit wet. There is not enough wood for me to put the chamber roof but it should turn out ok/
These are the only pics so far.
Hope you guys enjoy watching its progress!

Well it's been a while but it's done at last, one of the stones broke off and i glued it but it knocked me a bit so i stalled again (self doubt is a curse).
Finish is teak oil but i might give it some linseed to give it a richer tone. Mounting is the next job, a matt black base with 1" tall dowells!

First 2 pics are the original for reference, damn thing is to big to be shot in one photo!
