New Sculpture for Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park Unveiled
and live on Freeview channel 276
Situated in the heart of the garden was a large 9ft tall tree stump with a circumference of just over 17ft – all that was left of a beautiful triple stemmed 150-year-old Hungarian Oak tree, which was felled for safety reasons last year after considerable storm damage.
The Himalayan Garden team decided it was fitting to create something new from the old tree for people to continue to enjoy, and commissioned Karl to create something special for visitors to enjoy when the garden reopens on Tuesday April 4.

Hide AdKarl said: “As a chainsaw carver based in the heart of North Yorkshire I make a range of bespoke, wooden chainsaw sculptures each one filled with character and charisma.
“I offer a stump carving service and am delighted to have created the ‘Hungry Owl Seat’, transforming what was left of the Hungarian Oak Tree into something visitors can interact with for years to come.”
Will Roberts, owner of Himalayan Garden Sculpture Park said: “We are delighted with the beautiful piece Karl has created for us.
“At the start of his three days beavering away with his many chainsaws we really didn’t know what was going to emerge from the stump.
