Default Another Big Maple Carving

I have been busy carving a big maple stump for the City of Barrie. It was way to high for this old guy so I had their foresters cut off two 4 foot sections from the tree stem and bring them to theit yard for me to carve. The 1st 4 foot section was pretty rotten so I used the other piece. It was pretty well done in so I had to soak it with Rot Fix epoxy after I was done to preserve the sculpture. It is painted with BBQ black and coated with a clear poly. We re-attached it to the tree with a poly glue. I have just finished 2 bear cubs looking out of the trunk of the same tree.. I was a fun project.

Cool Re: Another Big Maple Carving

Excellent job Bob

The sculpture really adds character to the dwelling, just look back at the last picture and imagine the house without the carving....

Good stuff!

This carving was created from a large spalted maple log that was cut off the top of the stump and carved on the ground. I sealed the whole thing with ROT Fix a 2 part epoxy product before I added the colour. It will probably outlast the stump I epoxied it back onto by many years.
