Spectacular Life-Size Horse Created of Scavanged Driftwood

British-born James Doran-Webb designed these amazing life-size horses out of restored driftwood as a aspect of an continuous sequence of creature statues. Interested by the reflection of movement in sculpture, he aims to produce a powerful feeling of power in every animal he creates.

Having resided for many years in the Philippines, Doran-Webb designed up an comprehensive network of driftwood gatherers to help him with his art. When he performs on a new statue, he types through a huge stockpile of timber and choices the items that best show the organic way of the creature and its muscular structure.

Doran-Webb spent his child years in the classes of his father and mother's antiques restoration organization, so by the time he achieved his delayed teenagers, he was not only an achieved antique dealer, but also a very qualified cupboard manufacturer, with experience whittling, chiselling and existing. In 2005, he began to work with driftwood in his furniture styles and it was at that factor that he began to experiment with creature statues.

11 Foot 8 Inches: The Infamous ‘Can Opener’ Bridge

The federal government recommends that bridges on public roads should have a clearance of at least 14 feet.
