Oak Snags

Back to Gallery

These pieces are all individual, they are formed from old oak branches that have died off leaving the hard heart wood. We select suitable snags, remove debris and soak in linseed oil. A leaded glass panel is created to follow the form of the wood. They can be stood vertically in the ground and if so a stainless steel rod will be let into the branch, or laid along the ground.

Combinations of both make good groupings especially with gravel or pebbled areas. Sizes from one meter (approx) are good for courtyard and dry gardens, larger pieces grouped for a focal point. They are very good in town garden where space is precious and a tall thin focal point takes the eye up, perhaps maximizing the main directional light.
