Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge Epping Forest
New sculptures have been put on display at a historical landmark in Waltham Forest.
The family of hand-carved fallow deer on display at Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge in Rangers Road, Chingford were created by artist Denius Parson.
Mr Parsons, a chainsaw wood carver created the three sculptures - a buck, doe and fawn - to show visitors the history of Epping Forest as a royal hunting ground and modern day conservation.
The solid oak fixtures will remain a permanent display around the hunting lodge.
Sophie Lillington, City of London Corporation Forest Centres Officer said:
"Visitors can get an up-close look at our deer sculptures and learn about those hunting days of 500 years ago, when King Henry Vlll came with pomp and pageantry to hunt deer in the Forest.

Techniques include: Chainsaw Sculpting, Detail Sanding, Glass Inlay and Installation.

Devon Owl - Woodland Leisure Park
The owl has just landed and is about to munch her snack! After thinking long and hard that was the best solution for this oak stump peering over a bench where walkers might be taking a hard earned rest and eating their snacks too.

Peacock - Woodland Leisure Park
The owner requested something natural and taking a moments thought to watch the peacocks strutting boldly around gave me the obvious inspiration for this lonely ash tree, a particularly bolshy peacock having a domestic with some squirrels.

Westonbirt 2009
The Festival of the Tree is the most important woodcraft exhibition of its kind. The National Arboretum at Westonbirt, is a spectacular tree garden, home to a historical collection of over 3000 different tree and shrub species many of witch are rare or endangered in their native lands. Established in the Victorian era, today the arboretum offers a place to relax and get back to nature. And then we come with chainsaws...
The inspiration for Hands on Heart was the ability for hands to communicate feelings without words. The sculpture shows bubbles of love sprouting out of the fingertips.

Woodland Leisure Park Devon
A challenging project, after producing the designs I only had 2 days to finish each sculpture and with a central location in the park I wanted them to be striking. Upon checking the beech wood I found that because they had been felled 2 years ago there was a lot of rot that had to be worked around. Beech should be painted with preservative to ensure the sculptures last as it can rot much quicker than oak.

Westonbirt 2008
Every year for the last two decades a group of twelve chainsaw carvers
gather at Westonbirt and sculpt across the week sculptures up to 3m high.
The participants come from as near and far as the visitor's and it's
a great opportunity for us carvers to catch up and see what's
happening in the chainsaw carving world. So if you like what you see
come to westonbirt next year to the Festival of the Tree and help fund
Tree Aid to plant more trees in rural Africa.

The Bear
The first of my chainsaw art commissions turned out rather well. One giant bear and 4 smaller sculptures created for Celtic Harmony Camp. After sourcing the wood and making the sculpture elsewhere, the bear went for an interesting journey on the M25 and caused a little bit of havoc. Bears are extinct in this country didn't you know?

The dragon was painstakingly hand carved from pear tree, on the premises of Edward II; I lived here on top of where the old Palace once stood. In the naive early days of my business i spent a whole year carving this for a measly commission, which never got paid. For this reason the Dragon remains and although I’m rather fond of it, i don’t have the space (it need’s a minimum height of 4.5m so there is a 2 metre clearance to be able to walk underneath it) and will consider any reasonable offers.
