Description

Monogrammed letter carving on split cypress wood from one of Martin s friend s log pile with acrylic paint.

Monogrammed letter carving in birch wood from an urban garden in Bristol with acrylic paint.

The words are the six-line poem Thanks by Gael Turnbull (1928 – 2004).

The wood came from a tree which had to be felled as it was obstructing an entrance. The choice of words was suggested by the knots and unusual colouring. A free copy of Martin Wenham’s new book Martin Wenham The Art of Letter Carving, published by Crowood Press (price £25), will accompany each purchase from the exhibition.
