This seat was a commission for a couple and their family but sited at Buchan Country Park for public benefit.

It was carved in Green Oak from 7 separate pieces, which were bolted and pegged together on site.  It is 1.4m high.  It was installed in 2005

These photos show how it has weathered over the subsequent years.  There is very little splitting and the green colour helps to highlight the form.  There has been no graffiti as the surface texture is tool marked and patterned, yet there is always a certain amount of general vandalism at the site due to its public nature and proximity to housing estates.

To commission similar would be £5,000
