Fiona and I continue on our merry way cleaning the block and sorting our stockpiles. I committed to chainsawing the remaining logs so they could be used as cube installations and large bench seats. Fiona really helped by setting up the logs for sawing and measuring and marking up the logs to get the most out of them. And a good stash resulted as you can see from below.

This morning we moved all but three of the cubes down onto the sculpture terraces to create another cube installation as you can see from the photo at the start of the post. All that is left are the two benches and three 200mm cubes.

We also took seven rusted bbq burners and installed them under one of the camellias - they look a bit like a grouping of people - silent sentinels.

A good outcome in terms of decluttering and adding to the block.
Wow that's deft chainsaw work!
ReplyDeleteI love stacking blocks with our grandkids and can only imagine the delight that it must bring to likewise stack these weighty wooden cubes ... that you create them with a chain saw is awe-inducing, no easy task to square them off, I'm sure
