This is where I am possibly happiest, searching through old stacks of wood to see if I can find something wonderful. Thanks to Tom at greenspace designs for letting me rifle through his piles.
There were only ever going to be 3 pieces of the Linnacombe Elm and 2 are on walls of
private collections. Milled over 20 years ago after the tree had succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease the 2.4 metre boards had been stored undercover on the farm ever since. Tom pointed them out to me and after the first one came up something lovely I returned for the other 2 ( there was actually 3 but the one on the bottom of the stack had rotted so badly it fell to dust as I lifted it.) So one piece remains and soon be made into a beautiful wall hanging to complete the set. |
