{"product_id":"brown-bark-faced-log-resin-sculpture-40cm","title":"Brown Bark-Faced Log Resin Sculpture - 40cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis block shows bark and nothing else. The log inside it has been positioned so no cut timber face reaches any of the four sides, leaving a coarse, fibrous red-brown bark surface all the way round, and only a small pale end grain disc at the top gives away that there is a log in there at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBark on Every Face, No Timber Showing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the bark is the face rather than an edge. The bark is a deep red-brown, dry and fibrous, with a texture like coarse matting, and because it fills all four faces the block reads as a single warm mass rather than as bands of contrasting material. There is no pale sapwood line and no grain to follow, so the interest is entirely in surface texture, which is why it wants light coming across it rather than straight on. The small disc of end grain at the top is the only smooth thing on the piece, and it reads as a deliberate incident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm, on a narrow footprint, the top suits a candle, a dish or a single book rather than a lamp with a wide shade. The warm brown makes it a forgiving block to place: it needs no pale wall behind it, it will not fight a patterned rug, and it sits comfortably with terracotta, linen and unfinished timber. It is a quiet piece and it does not ask for attention. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiving With a Bark Surface Under Resin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. A bark face behaves differently from a timber one and it is worth knowing before it arrives. In the first weeks it may shed a little grit, which is normal for a bark left as it came and stops on its own. Bark type is specified at order, from this coarse fibrous kind to a smoother plated bark, and the height can be altered while the footprint stays fixed. It is moved with a hand on each resin arris and never on the bark, which will shed under a grip. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaced all round in red-brown bark, this block sits first with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and also with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract 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\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResin with Solid 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":53958319210843,"sku":"J015","price":3240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J015.jpg?v=1791373678","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/brown-bark-faced-log-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
