"Park yourself here"....?

I'm sure you can improve on this and you'd love to see your inspired slogan carved beautifully onto one of two new solid oak benches that Frome Town Council has ordered for Rodden Meadow, the most lovely open green space near the town centre?

The council bought two new solid benches and I've agreed, as a donation, to carve a short slogan onto each one of them so they decided to make it a competition with the town mayor, Peter Macfadyen choosing the winners. No prize other than the pride of seeing your words in wood.

You are limited to 40 characters for your slogan - including spaces!

Have just finished carving 72 of these Architectural woodcarvings for Kensington property. Delivered to Interior Designer on time and to budget. Now I can get on with more interesting coat of arms.

The National Trust commissioned 3 big curved benches featuring lines of Alexander Popes poetry cared into the surface.This was part of an award-winning re-interpretation of the site .Crispin, on the right in the photo, cut the wood. David, in the middle, made the benches and I carved the lettering.
