Wood sculptor Simon O'Rourke spent 12 hours carving a giant "Green Man" face into 18ft tall trunk of the 242-year-old cedar tree, which split in half during a storm.

The 6,000-year-old piece of oak, found in Boxford, Berkshire, is only the second wood carving to be found from the Mesolithic period. It was discovered preserved in peat at the bottom of a trench.

The overall winner in the show was an exquisite wood carving featuring a mythical 'green man' and an owl by Sarah Worthington, who was delighted as this was her first time at the show.
