Wood Sculptures

A wood sculpture is a work carved, turned or built from timber, and the grain is part of the design. Growth rings, knots and shifts of colour run through every piece, so two sculptures cut to the same pattern never read quite alike. Wood is warm to the touch and light for its size, and it is one of the oldest materials sculptors have worked.

Our collection is led by contemporary abstract work. Carved crescents rise from slim plinths, twin flames climb to 165cm, faceted totems stand at 160cm and 185cm, and the Tempest Drift forms twist upward to 222cm. Alongside them sit figurative pieces, stallions built from stacked and slatted timber and a boy playing the trumpet on a buffalo's back, with architectural carvings of a torii gate, a temple canopy and a pagoda.

Several designs pair timber with a second material. The hand-turned vases are veined with blue resin, the hanging columns set carved wood against clear resin, and small landscape blocks rise from a wooden ridge into snowy peaks of resin. For more work in these materials see our resin sculptures, and for pieces made to be suspended, our hanging sculptures.

Wood is at its best indoors, where its colour and finish stay as they left the workshop. A tall carved form suits a hallway, a stair landing or the corner of a living room, and the vases and bowls sit well on a console or in a lit niche. You will find more contemporary work in our abstract sculptures and organic sculptures, and timber for the wall in our wood wall art.

Every wood sculpture we make is handcrafted to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios. Standard production takes around three to four weeks, and we offer free worldwide shipping. Get in touch for advice on scale and placement, or to commission a piece to your own brief.
