Title :
‘Oak Tree Waymarker’
Location :
Materials :
Green Oak
Description :
Sited at a junction of paths
in an oak wood, this signpost uses the natural form of an oak tree
which was felled and
planked with part of one heavy branch still attached. Four heavy
boards were obtained from the tree – cut on a horizontal bandsaw –
so that the same profile is echoed on all four sides of the
waymarker. The faces of the boards were carved with a variety of
sayings or proverbs about oaks while the outstretched limbs contain
the directions.
