Doing a small commission for the local cathedral, need a small amount of light coloured wood that will take a bit of detail and know this lime will be perfect when planned up.
When I got it months ago the saw mill told be it grew on the cathedral grounds, cut down 20 years ago.
I like that it's come full circle even if it is only going to be a tiny bit used.
Great ecclesiastical recycling Kev.
ReplyDeleteLime is wonderful for carving.
ReplyDeleteHow brilliant that your work will be in the Cathedral
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you remember the history of this piece of wood from "months ago"! Marvelous memory you have.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading Bernard Cornwell's Saxon series, and in it he mentions limewood. I had no idea what it was! Such a treat to see some, and to see it in use today.
