Spending time around trees has always improved my mood, im simply at peace there.
I've been an arborist and chainsaw carver in west London and Buckinghamshire all my adult life, nurturing many trees but also felling many for various reasons, like trees outgrowing their environment, root issues on homes, building requirements, etc,. Running my own company now, I do tree work in a way that can only be far more environmentally friendly. I simply won't fell a tree unless absolutely necessary, I always discuss alternative options and weigh things in the plant kingdom's favor, but in the circumstance when tree felling needs to be done, i look to give the tree new life by creating a sculpture that compliments my clients and the surroundings.
My wood waste is responsibly recycled. A selection of the most mature and rarest looking grains are kept to be transformed into unique pieces of art sculpture.
