Created with techniques I learned while constructing exhibits for the Cincinnati Zoo.
COMMISSIONED WORK CONSIDERED for nature center, zoo, park or yard.
Log is hollow and approximately 6 ft long and weatherproof. Tinted with color pigment throughout and topcoated with color washes and sealed. Weighs approx 250 pounds, has hidden 7 inch wide flat area running full length on underside to prevent rolling. Features a "treat trough" disguised as bark along the topside back of log to encourage animals sitting atop the log where they can be viewed while enjoying treats. The trough has an open end and the entire sculpture is designed on a very slight, unnoticeable slant to avoid standing water in crevices.
Log is sculpted around commercial grade PVC pipe, covered in 1/2 inch thick flexible waterproof sheet of foam for insulation, then covered in approx 2" of carved concrete.
