{"product_id":"clear-growth-ring-log-cast-resin-stool-55cm","title":"Clear Growth Ring Log Cast Resin Stool - 55cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is clear resin cast as a section of tree trunk. The top face carries concentric growth rings turning round a centre, and the sides are left rough and barked the whole way round, so the piece reads as a length of log with the bark still on and one end sawn flat. Within the clear body, fine white crackle runs down the flanks like frost caught in the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowth Rings Turning on a Cut Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe growth rings are modelled into the mould face and turn round a true centre, so they read as a cut through a trunk rather than as a pattern laid on a disc. The barked side is worked by hand and its run differs from one piece to the next. The cut face is brought to a full polish while the sides are left rough, and holding that contrast without the polish creeping over the arris is the careful part of the finishing. That edge is left true rather than rounded, because it is the whole of what separates the sawn face from the bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 55cm this is a stool at seat height and takes an adult, and the polished cut face will take a tray or a glass without either sliding. A hall, a bathroom or the far end of a seating run all suit it, and it needs a floor with tone enough to hold it rather than a pale carpet. It is the same across as it is high, so it reads as a block from wherever it is come at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Rings, the Bark, and Ordering Several\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 growth ring face. Three of its features are open. The bark can be worked coarser or eased back, the ring spacing is drawn to order, and a tint can be put through the resin. Top diameter and block height are cut to your figures. Any group ordered in one go is matched on the turn of the growth rings. The growth ring face and the barked edge must sit clear of the crate on all sides; two people will carry it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth rings turning across a polished cut face set this log stool among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the stool's sawn top also suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Log Form\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53991147700571,"sku":"J556","price":5265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J556.jpg?v=1791390296","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-growth-ring-log-cast-resin-stool-55cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
