Caulk Head.

Today I forgot  my camera and had to use my phone which dose not have a very good camera on it.
This is a new tree sculpture to celebrate the history of ship building in Cowes.
In the old days Traditional caulking  on wooden vessels uses fibres of cotton and oakum (hemp fibres soaked in pine tar). These fibres are driven into the wedge-shaped seam between planks, with a caulking mallet and a broad chise-like tool called a caulking iron.The caulking is then covered over with a putty, in the case of hull seams, or else in deck seams with melted pine pitch, in a process referred to as paying.
The fumes coming off this would send the workers a bit loopy and is why the Islanders get the name Caulk Heads.
