Also featuring a Cobra stitched par...

I’d love to tell you I’m a visionary sculptor, but mostly I’m just a man who found a log full of dirt. 🛠️🤷‍♂️

​When this tree came down, the middle had essentially turned into high-quality compost. Seriously, I could’ve grown prize-winning leeks in there. Most sensible people would’ve seen a rotten mess and reached for the matches.

​Naturally, I decided to spend hours of my life fighting it with a chisel instead.

​I’m currently digging out the "heart" to see if there’s actually a basket in here or if I’m just making a very expensive pile of woodchips. It’s a lot of material to remove, and I’m mostly just following the wood’s lead—mainly because the wood is bigger than me and won't listen anyway.

​It’s going to be a Stormwood original for sale eventually. That is, assuming I don't accidentally carve a hole straight through the bottom.

​Fancy owning a piece of woodland history that I’ve spent way too much time arguing with? Keep an eye out. Or just tell me I’m mad in the comments.

So my wife's is coming up and she wants/needs a mounting block for her 🐎 I may have slightly over engineered it, but it will LAST!
I'd consider offering these as a built to order product in our shop. But I looked into what others are selling online and honestly? I could barely get the materials for this one with the price some are selling for. But looking carefully you realise the build isn't good at all on those cheap blocks. They will wobble, break and rot. Like they say, "buy cheap, buy twice"
So if anyone did want an ultra sturdy mounting block, that won't fly around your yard on a windy day🌬️ do get in touch.

How very true..... Get walking!

Creativity doesn’t live in conference rooms - it lives in motion.

Some of your best ideas will come when you stop trying to force them.
