Crafts CouncilDirectoryMark Straton DesignsAutumn Oak LeafAboutThis is the sculptural representation of decaying oak leaf, it is a very tactile object and is the first piece I made on returning to hand made items. It has been hand carved from a single piece of burr oak. The effect, it is believed to be caused by the trees over reaction to a parasitic attack, but results in a spectacular grain pattern. Wood this patternated is very rare and and quite hard to work, but I feel the results are well worth the effort. Dimensions are: 19″ x 15″ x 3.5″Mark Straton DesignsPeters Marland, EnglandAutumn Oak Leaf., Mark StratonAutumn Oak Leaf, with pint tankard for size.Autumn Oak Leaf 1, Mark StratonAutumn Oak Leaf, side view.Autumn Oak LeafAboutThis is the sculptural representation of decaying oak leaf, it is a very tactile object and is the first piece I made on returning to hand made items.
