The cut end of the trunk shows on the top face as concentric growth rings inside a pale sapwood ring, and the dark bark runs down through the body of the block where the resin lets it be read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Trunk Read Through Its Own Casing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trunk is dried and stabilised before it goes in, then set in position so the cut end sits flush with the top face and the bark is held where it was put. The outer faces are ground dead flat and polished, which is what lets the bark be read at depth: any waviness left in one of them bends the grain behind it, and the trunk comes out looking crooked through the block when it is straight. The arrises are taken up sharp so the block reads as cut rather than moulded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm it sits at seat height and will take an adult, and the flush cut face holds a tray or a lamp without either rocking. It suits a hall, a bedroom or the end of a run of seating, and it wants light from above so the bark can be read down into the block rather than just across the top. Two or three together read as a run of cut logs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Timber, the Cream, and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. The set trunk section is the slow part. There are three decisions. The timber species is chosen when the order is placed, the resin is offered clear as well as cream, and the block proportions are drawn to order. Neither the block width nor the block height is fixed. Specify the whole group at once and the run of the bark down the block is held through it. The growth ring face and the block arrises are boxed off the crate wall, and two people should lift it rather than one. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA barked trunk read through a cream block belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the stool it makes is one of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and the casting around the wood is listed with 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with a Set Timber Trunk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53991620346203,"sku":"J601","price":4455.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J601.jpg?v=1791395397","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/brown-set-trunk-cream-cast-resin-block-stool-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
