Lengths of charred timber stand upright within the mass, dark brown and black, with pale sapwood showing where the bark has gone and scorched fibrous edges where it has burnt. Between them sit short fragments of dark organic matter. The resin around them is a clear warm amber that lightens towards the outer faces, so the timber is seen at slightly different depths from each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCharred Timber Held Inside Amber\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interest is entirely internal and the outside is kept plain for that reason. The block is a plain rectangular solid, sawn flat and square, with no shaping, no chamfer and no texture on any face. Inside stand lengths of charred timber, upright, with pale sapwood where the bark has gone and blackened fibrous edges where it has burnt, and short fragments of dark organic matter gathered between them. The amber around them clears towards the outer faces, which means each side of the block offers the timber at a slightly different depth and the arrangement never looks the same twice. Every block is different because no two pieces of burnt timber are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm it is a stool when you need a seat and a table when you need a surface, and it is compact enough to move about a room as needed. The timber inside only reads when light passes through the block, so a window or a lamp behind it is worth far more than a dark corner, where it goes to a solid dark mass. The sawn top is flat and level and will take a drink or a book. It is heavy for its size. Keep it inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Inside, and What Is Open\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The encased timber is the slow part. Three elements are left to you. The tint is open, the block can be made to a size you name, and the top can be supplied domed instead of sawn flat. What goes inside is ours to select, since no two pieces of burnt timber are alike. Span across the block and overall height are quoted to your own figures. Several ordered together are worked so that the arrangement of timber inside the block agrees. The crate is packed to keep the four sawn corners of the block clear, and it takes one person to move. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharred timber held upright in a sawn block gives our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e a stool with a story inside; the burnt wood set in resin belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a reading chair's side among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Encased Timber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53972331790683,"sku":"J391","price":4929.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J391.jpg?v=1791392820","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-encased-timber-cast-resin-block-stool-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
