The outer resin surface is worked into a rippled, molten form rather than left as a smooth block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Barked Log Inside a Molten Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe log is dried and stabilised before anything is poured, and its bark is left on and consolidated in place rather than cleaned back, which is what allows it to be read in the round through the resin. The molten outer form is modelled into the mould, so the ripples run over the arrises without stopping at them. The top is worked flat across the resin and the log's cut end at once, bringing two materials of different hardness to one plane and one sheen. Every outer surface is brought to a gloss including the base, and the foot is faced flat so the stool stands without packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm this is a stool for a hall, a bathroom or the end of a bed, and it takes an adult sitting or a tray standing. The bark is read through the sides, so it wants light from across the room rather than above it, and it is worth turning to the face of the log you prefer before it is set down. It is heavy for its size, which makes it steady but awkward to shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Log, the Molten Outside, and the Wait\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Most of it is the barked log. Three things can change. The log is chosen from what is in stock at order, the molten outside is worked coarser or brought closer to a smooth block, and a tint is taken through the resin. You give the seat width and the seat height. The group is made as one so that the bark line round the log reads the same on each piece. The log end and the rippled sides travel padded and clear of the walls, and the crate is packed so the seat face bears nothing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA barked log in a molten clear skin gives our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e a stool; the log answers our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, the rippled casing our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid Timber Core in High-Clarity Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993526100315,"sku":"J691","price":4252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J691.jpg?v=1791398762","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/barked-log-core-molten-clear-resin-stool-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
