Bell Pole

The antique bell was a gift to the owners by a close friend. They wanted to have a unique post to hold the bell so they asked me to build them a pole from a cedar tree that we found on their farm property. I first used a chainsaw and a grinder to create the spiral and then cupped the wood on the inside to hold water and create a waterfall effect when it rains. The pole was hand sanded to 400 grit and then finished with linseed oil. The spirals intensify the sound of the bell ringing as well as create a unique focal point in the garden!
