Another lovely week working on the build for the Meadow area at Shambala festival with the Meadow crew family and our ace build team (thanks to Joe, Matt and Simon - you are all heroes!)
The fish (they are chubb, in case you are wondering) were carved and painted in the field on site, using slab wood from a pallet of random bits dropped off at the start. They are oak with poplar fins and the paints are Cuprinol shed paints, so durable for years outdoors.
The chair was carved from ash timber slabs. The backrest features a hollow with a small ridge up each side, to gently massage the backs of people sitting on it. Thanks to Annette for the advice on designing this.
It's my tenth year sorting out making the woodwork for this area of the festival and I always look forward to it!
