{"product_id":"clear-tall-bark-band-log-resin-sculpture-55cm","title":"Clear Tall Bark Band Log Resin Sculpture - 55cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis block rises well above its width, which gives it an upright, column-like proportion. Its face is an olive-brown heartwood with a strong straight grain, closed at each side by a coarse black bark band, and a pale sapwood line runs between the two. The top is a broad disc of end grain, level with the resin around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Log Block With the Proportion of a Column\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proportion is the whole difference here. Carried high on its footprint, the block reads as a column rather than a cube, and the vertical grain of the timber runs with that rather than against it. The bark bands are coarse and deeply broken, and they give the piece a long dark edge on each side that a squat block cannot. The heartwood is olive rather than honey, cool in tone, and the grain is straight enough to read as a set of parallel lines from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 55cm the flat top sits above the arm of most chairs, so the block holds a lamp or a small sculpture up where it can be seen, or stands beside a high-backed chair, rather than acting as a low table next to a sofa. In a hall it reads as a pedestal. It suits a position where its full height is visible from top to bottom, so out from a wall rather than half behind furniture, and the cool olive timber sits well with grey plaster and pale stone. It is heavy and stays where it is placed. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Tall Block as a Lamp Stand or Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. Height is the specification worth thinking about on this piece, because it changes the job the block does. As a lamp stand it wants the flex run down the back face and a shade whose bottom edge clears the block, so a tall narrow shade rather than a wide one. As a plinth it will take a bust or a small figure, and the flat top is level enough to need no pad, though a piece with a rough base wants a felt between. The block can be cut to other heights on this footprint, and a wider square is available where a tall block feels top-heavy in the room. Bark coarseness is chosen, and a paler heartwood is offered for a lighter column. The piece is awkward rather than heavy, so it is carried low between two people and never on a shoulder.
