{"product_id":"clear-split-end-bark-log-resin-sculpture-40cm","title":"Clear Split-End Bark Log Resin Sculpture - 40cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA log section stands the full height of this colourless resin block with its bark left on: rough black bark runs down both flanks, and between them the log is sawn open to a dark brown heartwood face, edged in pale sapwood and marked by a single knot. The end grain lies level with the top face, its growth rings crossed by one radial split.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlack Bark Flanks Around a Sawn Heartwood Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe log keeps its bark, and the bark is what frames it: coarse, silvery black and broken into ridges, it runs down both sides of the face so the block reads in bands, dark at the edges and warm in the middle. The sawn face shows the heartwood at its richest, a deep brown with a straight grain, and a narrow line of pale sapwood separates it from the bark on each side. A single knot sits in the heartwood like an eye, and because the grain around it is plain it carries from across a room. The top is polished level, with the rings running out to the split, so a glass stands square anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm it works beside a chair, at a bed head or in a hall, and the flat level top makes it usable rather than only decorative. Its dark bark edges give it a strong outline, so it reads best against a pale wall, where the banding shows at full strength. It suits oak, wool and pale plaster. It is heavy for its footprint and is not a piece to move about. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a Trunk, and the Split That Comes With It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The radial split running out from the centre of the end grain is not a fault and it is not avoidable: a trunk section of this diameter opens along one radius as it dries. It is part of what you are buying, and it is why this piece looks like timber and not like a turned dowel. What can be specified is the trunk: a wider section for more timber and less resin at the corners, a narrower one for a clear margin all the way round, and a paler or darker species. Other heights and proportions are made on request. Two people crate it standing and set it down in one movement, handling it on the resin corners and never on the bark. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimber kept in its bark is gathered in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, colourless castings like this one in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and other hard-edged blocks in 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\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":53956830593371,"sku":"J002","price":4320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J002.jpg?v=1791373601","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-split-end-bark-log-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
