Spalted Display

I had completely run out of spalted beech blocks and with one thing and another hadn't had the chance to order some, but luckily a friend dropped in a week past and gave me a belated birthday present, yep some spalted beech blocks, so not to let it sit I started work on a display float that night and over the past week or so have put the finishing touches to it in my spare time.




Depicting a chubber float the body is made from spalted beech with a beech stem painted red and whipped with black silk to finish it off and mounted on a yew base.












The second in a series of full sized display floats, the last being the Irish Yew Chubber.
