What sets it apart is inside it: real branches, twigs and dried leaves are held within the casting, so the clear body of the deer contains a thicket rather than being empty. They gather through the legs and the chest and thin toward the head, and the brown of the wood is the only colour in the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReal Branches Standing Inside the Animal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting real wood inside clear resin is a race against two things at once. Wood carries moisture and moisture makes bubbles, so every branch is dried right through before it goes anywhere near a mould, and a branch that looks dry and is not shows up as a line of silver beads along its own length. Wood also floats. Left loose it rises to the top of the casting and gathers under the spine, so each piece is positioned and held against the mould wall before any resin is introduced, and the arrangement is decided as a composition rather than left to chance. At this height the pour is broken into more than one operation, which is what keeps the heat of it under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 193cm it is an architectural object rather than a room ornament: an entrance hall, a stairwell, a gallery, a double-height space where it can be seen from two levels. The branches inside it want light before they show at all, so daylight behind or beside the animal does far more than a downlight overhead. Stand it clear of walls on at least two sides. It is heavy, and the floor under it should be solid rather than sprung.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBranch Density, Scale and What a Tall Delivery Needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Branch density is set at order, from this full thicket to a few isolated twigs, and the species can be chosen where you have one in mind - the wood is what gives the piece its colour, so it is worth deciding. Scale is cut to order. A tint through the resin is available but tends to fight the wood. It travels in a purpose-built crate, upright, with the antlers cased separately, and it is a four-person lift with a route that has to be checked first. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag holding real branches within its body belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; twigs and dried leaves held in a clear body lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and wood suspended in resin joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e193cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Cast Resin with Set Branches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017123156315,"sku":"R009","price":32741.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R009.jpg?v=1791304021","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stag-with-set-branches-resin-sculpture-193cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
