Matt Crabb, national chainsaw carving champion sculpting a bench out of 450-500 year old oak tree which came down in the recent strong winds and was found to have root rot at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, England, UK The forestry team felt it would have been a shame to cut it up into smaller sections. So they decided to get Matt Crabb who is a national chainsaw carving champion to transform it into a bench. Blenheim estate is home to the largest collection of ancient oaks in Europe (and hence the world) with some trees believed to date back almost 1,000 years. PHOTO:JEFF GILBERT 26th May 2021.
