Day 207
July 26, 2010This is a wooden sculpture by Andrew Tebbs, recently unveiled on our village green. It was a felled tree that had just left the base.
The bear was been renamed three times in as many weeks. From ‘Dancing Bear’ to ‘Happy Bear’ to ‘Barlborough Bear.’
However, it is universally known as ‘The Gay Bear“, tee hee!

Day 208
July 27, 2010This is the blowing end of a Didgeridoo.
Didgeridoo
The didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu or didge) is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago and is still in widespread usage today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or “drone pipe”. Musicologists classify it as an aerophone. The instrument is traditionally made from Eucalyptus trees which have had their interiors hollowed out by termites.
The hand painted decoration cover the whole length.

Day 209
July 28, 2010This is the bark of the Jarrah tree and is the leg of a table we had shipped back from Australia this year. The wood is very durable, even in wet and weathered situations, making it a choice structural material for bridges, wharves, railway sleepers, ship building and telegraph poles.
Felling of Jarrah trees is now forbidden and there is a large amount of reclaimation of the wood. Even in some cases where it has been in the sea supporting jettys for over 100 years.
