Timber Festival 2024 Foresters Arms bar front for Tollgate Brewery and The National Forest.
The bar front was created to sit in front of the Tollgate Brewery mobile bar. Slices of Ash, Oak, Silver Birch, Cherry, and Hazel, all felled from local woodlands through my work as member of Heartwood Community Woodland Group. Over 500 slices were needed to cover the 4m wide bar front.
Four large discs for the Tollgate and National Forest logos are created from local Silver Birch boards that are glued together to make two a 12" wide boards. I made a simple jig to attach the bottom of of the trim router to cut circles. Once cut out these were laser engraved and treated with Danish oil.
The large logo discs were screwed to the back board, the other log slices were glues on. Once the glue had dried all the log slices were coated with Danish oil.
