{"product_id":"clear-striped-heartwood-log-resin-sculpture-45cm","title":"Clear Striped Heartwood Log Resin Sculpture - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timber in this block is strongly figured: the heartwood runs in distinct vertical bands of olive, gold and near-black rather than a single tone, with two rough black bark edges closing the face at each side. The top carries a full disc of end grain, with the same banding running through it in section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeartwood Striped Olive, Gold and Near-Black\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigured timber like this is not common and it is the whole reason for this block. The stripes are the timber's own, running the full height of the log without breaking, and they vary in width so the face reads as a natural pattern rather than as a veneer. Olive and near-black bands sit next to gold ones with no gradual transition between them, which is what makes the face legible from across a room where a plain brown log would read as a single mass. Because the banding continues into the end grain, the top face shows the same pattern turned through ninety degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm the block sits very steady, and the flat top is broad enough for a lamp and a book together. The strongly figured face means it wants to be seen, so it earns a position out in a room, at the end of a sofa or beside a chair, rather than half hidden against furniture. It holds its own against a patterned rug or a papered wall, because the timber already carries a pattern of its own. It is heavy and stays put once sited. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFigured Timber, and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild times separate standard from bespoke: 3–4 weeks against 5–6. Figure cannot be specified, only selected, and that is the practical point about this piece. The banding is a property of the particular log, so a second block ordered later will be figured but not figured the same way, and the two will read as a pair of related pieces rather than as a matched set. Where a genuine pair or a run of three is wanted, they are cut in sequence from one log and ordered together; asked for separately, they cannot be matched. A plainer heartwood is available for less where the figure is not the point, and a darker species reads quieter in a room that already has pattern in it. Dimensions are altered to order. The crate stands it on its base, and its broad square foot sits flat on an ordinary floor, needing no pad on boards or stone. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStriped heartwood with black bark edges has its natural home in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the cast block counts among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the clean cube among 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\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":53957872025947,"sku":"J009","price":4320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J009.jpg?v=1791373645","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-striped-heartwood-log-resin-sculpture-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
