The tallest tree

The tallest tree in Wales had been damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, but a better solution was found. Natural Resource Wales, which was in charge of the site, ordered artist O ' Rourke to cut down the tree. He cameup with the concept of carving what the tree stump and trunk into a giant hand - to symbolise the tree's last attempt to reach the sky. Once completed, the sculpture was coated with tung oil, a natural vegetable oil safe for the closeness of the riverways. It’s called THE GIANT HAND OF VYRNWY Sculptor Simon O ' Rourke Height: 15,25 meters
