Imperial Masterpiece
From time to time i do check the blog or the latest products.
Ive often came across this difficult Elm on the website, i wouldnt buy it myself. but i guess its been sitting around for quite long and Potter decided to work on it. i think its quite the transformation, the styling isnt my cup of tea but i guess it works for the tree and will likely sell quicker in the current state which i assume was Graham's reasons for working the difficult material.
What would you have done with this difficult material? the carving job i didnt see coming and i might not of thought of it. but these are the kind of transformations ive come across that have helped me to see material in a different light over the years. so this will stick in my memory and one day maybe ill have a piece of material that requires something drastic like this.
Understand this wont be to everyones taste but i think a very boring, difficult piece now has some interest and character, certainly made it into a talking point
