A CENTURY-old pine that collapsed at Bellbrae Estate late last year will take on a new life when Surf Coast artist Brock Fidler starts his chainsaw this week.<\/p>\n

The 120-year-old Monterey pine has been lying on its side since wild storms lashed large parts of the state in mid-October, prompting Mr Fidler to approach the winery with his folio that includes sculptures carved from similar aged trees in\u00a0the region.<\/p>\n

“I have worked on a carving of such size out the back of Freshwater Creek on a private farm property, a cypress I turned into a four metre high eagle\u2026 I cut some steps up the back and also did a baby eagle,” he said.<\/p>\n

Before work can start on his latest canvas that will become “an ocean-themed abstract”, he and an offsider must first remove the debris of protruding limbs.<\/p>\n

“I could start the drawing now, but it is a little bit tricky just in case there’s some parts of the tree that don’t allow me to carve, where there may be rot for example,” he said.<\/p>\n

“As the tree reveals itself, the work will become clearer.”<\/p>\n

Mr Fidler experts to start carving early next week and have the project finished, including an oil coat, within two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
