It is the stump that was created by felling a big beech tree (same day as the Wisley meet). A man came from here and wielded his equipment over several days. Nice chap seems to have the right philosophy on life.

I love it Don, like i said cool :D I like garden sculptures anyway, I made a few a couple of years ago from thermalite blocks, I really need to get the other ones I had planned to do but got sidetracked carcing some for friends and family so got bored with them, but as I said that was a couple of years ago so no excuses now :D
