THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT.
Above: Ally the Wood Cutter
Ally was an allotment man, the go to guy if you wanted anything doing. His appearance was more that of a mad scientist than a council worker, with his out of control hair, big bushy beard and glass eye that never aimed forward. People always went to Ally with big wood project as everyone knew he had a sawmill he made in part and bodged in others. This sculpture represents him and another chap cutting the raw wood before sending it through the sawmill.
