The flank carries the full relief of bark, deep vertical fissures and coarse ridges, and at the foot it swells into a few rounded lumps where roots would begin. The top is a sawn face with visible growth rings and a split running off centre. Nothing is tinted, so the whole object is water clear and the bark relief reads entirely as light and shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFull Bark Relief With No Colour at All to Read It By\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking the colour out of a stump is a harder thing than it sounds, because a real stump is read almost entirely by its colour: dark bark, pale sapwood, warm end grain. With all of that gone what remains is the surface itself, and the surface has to do all the work. It does it well. Every fissure in the bark becomes a bright line where the material turns, and every ridge throws a shadow onto the flank behind it, so the relief reads more sharply than it would in timber. The sawn top is the opposite: nearly flat, so it stays quiet and lets the rings show as fine concentric lines. Turned in the hand the whole object changes completely, because the highlights move while the shadows stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts top stands at 45cm, an ordinary seat height that takes an adult's weight, and being hollow it is far easier to move than a solid stump of its size would be. It works as a stool at a low table, a side table beside a chair, or a stand for a lamp, and being clear it takes up almost no visual space in a small room. Put it against something with pattern or colour and the whole stool picks that up through itself. On a dark floor the bark relief reads at its strongest. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWall Thickness, Bark Depth and Added Branch Stubs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The wall is the first thing worth naming. A thicker one can be cast where the rim should look more solid. The depth of the bark relief, from this pronounced cut through to a shallower texture that reads as a ripple rather than as bark. And branch stubs, which can be added to the flank, one or several, where a trunk with cut limbs is wanted. A tint can be added to the mix if a clear stool is not wanted. Diameter and height are cut to order. It travels in a single crate and needs two people to set down, hollow though it is. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBark relief poured in colourless resin makes this stump stool at home in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, seated among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear like our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53965303480667,"sku":"J100","price":3238.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J100.jpg?v=1791384985","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/colourless-bark-textured-cast-resin-stump-stool-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
