Ludlow Stone Carving Festival 2011

Tom — Mon, 23 May 2011 20:24:51 +0000

Here is the working model, only a couple of inches high.

My piece won the carving competition at St Laurence church, Ludlow, Shropshire this year. The piece took 20 hours to carve and was sold along with the other competition pieces to raise funds for the churches upkeep.

This amazing piece, by Saul Sheldon, won the carvers vote in the competition.

And here are a few more carvings from the competition, there were 23 fantastic carvers in total some independent & others from various Cathedral workshops.

The standard was very high and they raised £4300 for the church.
