A thin pale sapwood line traces the boundary between bark and heartwood on both edges, and the top is a clean disc of end grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Knots on a Broad Honey Heartwood Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe knots are what this block is for. They sit at different heights and different distances from the centre line, so the face has a rhythm to it rather than a symmetry, and each one is a dark eye in an otherwise even field of honey-coloured timber. The pale sapwood line at each edge is only a few millimetres wide but it separates bark from heartwood cleanly, so the three materials of the log read as three distinct bands. The grain is straight and fine with no strong figure, which is why the knots carry so strongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm it sits low and steady on its broad square foot, with a flat top roomy enough for a reading lamp and a tray. The honey timber makes it easy to place: it warms a pale room and holds up in a dark one, and it sits well with oak, wool and unpolished brass. Turn the knotted face to the room, since the opposite face is plainer. It is heavy for its size and stays where it is put. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKnots, and What Counts as a Fault\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. A knot is where a branch left the trunk, and in a piece like this it is the feature rather than the defect, so it is worth being clear about what would and would not be replaced. A sound knot, even a dark one, even one with a small crack running out of it, is part of the timber and is left as it is. A knot that has fallen out entirely, leaving a hole, is not, and that log is not used. What cannot be specified is where the knots fall: they are the tree's own, so a repeat order gives a knotted face but not the same one. If a plain face is wanted, a clear-grained log without knots is available and costs the same. Bark width is set narrow as here or broader, and block heights are made to order on the same square. Delivery is standing, and its broad square base sits flat on most floors without a pad. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo knots in honey heartwood make this a natural pick from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the resin body sets it alongside our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the squared outline beside 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\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\u003eClear Resin 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":53958016729435,"sku":"J013","price":3780.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J013.jpg?v=1791373664","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-knotted-heartwood-log-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
