The Vision: Nick Agar, celebrated for his ability to fuse traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques, utilized the owner's visual perceptions and envisioned an art installation that would evoke a sense of connection with nature. Inspired by the organic shapes and textures found in the surrounding landscape, he sought to create a piece that would not only be vividly stunning but also harmonize with the elements.

The Tools: To bring his vision to reality, Agar turned to the precision and versatility offered by King Arthur's Tools Holey Galahads and Merlin2, as well as Manpa Tools 3 inch and 4inch cutting discs. These tools, all known for their reliability and innovative features, played a crucial role in shaping and sculpting the intricate details of the installation.
