{"product_id":"clear-pale-heartwood-log-resin-sculpture-45cm","title":"Clear Pale Heartwood Log Resin Sculpture - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timber in this block is a pale pinkish cream running the full height, closer to the colour of unfinished plaster than of wood, with a black bark band down each side of it. Colourless resin surrounds the log and the block is polished flat on every face, so the pale timber reads at full strength against the dark edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePale Pink Heartwood Against a Black Bark Edge\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost log sections give brown. This one gives a pale pinkish cream, and the contrast it makes with its own bark is a hard one, because the bark is very dark and the timber very light with almost nothing in between. The grain is fine and straight with only a faint figure, which keeps the face reading as a flat colour rather than a pattern, and any small knot on it shows clearly for the same reason. The bark bands are narrow here, so the pale field is wide. The materials are a timber section and an imported clear resin, and the block runs tall on a square footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm the flat top is at a comfortable height beside a high-armed chair or a bed. The pale timber makes it an easy block to place: it lifts a dark corner, holds its own in a bright room, and sits as happily against a dark wall as a light one. It sits well with linen, oak and off-white plaster. It is heavy for its size and stays where it is set down. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Pale Timbers Are Specified by Batch\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. Pale timber is a difficult thing to repeat, and it is worth knowing why before ordering a pair. A cream heartwood like this varies from log to log far more visibly than a brown one does, because there is less colour in it to absorb the difference, so two blocks cut from different logs can sit noticeably apart in tone while two brown ones would look alike. Pale pieces are therefore selected in batches, and if two or more are wanted they are cut from the same log and ordered together rather than separately. Ordering a second one later gives a comparable block, not a matching one. Bark width is specified narrow as here or broader for a heavier frame to the pale face, and block heights are made to order. It is delivered standing in a fitted case and is better unpacked at floor level than lifted onto a bench, because a pale timber shows a knock where a dark one hides it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaster-pale heartwood framed in black bark joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the clear block brings it into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the cube itself into 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\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\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":53957867569499,"sku":"J007","price":3712.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J007.jpg?v=1791373632","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-pale-heartwood-log-resin-sculpture-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
