Massive Piece Of Driftwood Washed Ashore



A massive piece of driftwood washed ashore recently in La Push, a small community on the northwest coast of Washington's most westerly peninsula. This piece of driftwood is actually called a drift log.

It wasn't measured, but finding trees in the forest between 5 and 10 feet in diameter and a couple hundred feet tall isn't uncommon. Powerful winds accompanied by high tides are required to bring these monsters ashore. LINK: The Presurfer

Driftwood sculpture process by Matt Torrens




The driftwood sculptures of Matt Torrens are made using Manzanita driftwood which is native to Northern California. He uses his spare time to gather local driftwood and then used to create eco-friendly, life sized wildlife sculptures that give character and grace to their animal counterparts. He also creates sculptures using other materials such as dinner knives and silver serving trays. LINK
