Large Wooden Nuts
 

Whilst visting Beningbrough Hall garden in Yorkshire this summer I
noticed some wooden garden sculpture in the form of large wooden nuts
(ie Acorns Chestnuts etc)about 3 ft high.
Anybody know where I can buy such a beast?

If someone has back-issues of 'The Garden' ( the RHS magazine), and could
look it up, I'm sure I saw an advert in a recent issue which showed a large
wooden walnut in a woodland setting. I'm afraid I don't have a copy myself
as I only get to read it when I visit my in-laws.

there's been a group in the Green Fields at the Glastonbury Festival
selling wood sculptures like that for several years. Unfortunately, when
I just searched google on 'uk wood sculpture' all it returned were
artists producing mega-expensive works of great detail.

Steve as regards the Acorns try asking about a local woodturning club.
Since I do not know where you are located you could visit the
Association of Woodturners of Great Britain site on
http://www.woodturners.co.uk/ and then click on branches, it might be
that you could get them cheaper.

Each can do but little!
But if each DID that little,
ALL would be done!

I find myself tempted to say "Beningbrough Hall" :~))

However Google threw up the artist who made the ones you saw :

Just for a moment there when I saw your header, I thought you were going to
ask where you could get a large wooden spanner.

They look rather more carefully crafted than the ones I've seen at
Glasto' - more pricey too though.
