Robert George always works with timber sourced from his own carefully considered arboricultural practices and sustainable small-scale forestry operations, all from within a 30mile radius of his workshop in rural Northamptonshire. Provenance is at the heart of every piece he makes and this is especially true of the work we showcase.

This is one of three vessels turned from a 1.6m long Sycamore log taken from one of Robert's jobs as part of his arboricultral practices. The tallest piece is 1.8m in height and the other two are around 1.2/1.3m, the centres of the log are drawn out to create a timeline of the tree's life, it is a difficult process but creates extremely small amounts of waste and allows the narrative of the tree to be further explored.
