00:00Have you ever seen a tree that was thrown into the sea?
00:04Can they be recycled to make giant driftwood sculptures?
00:08How big?
00:09Let's find out.
00:14At first glance, it looks real.
00:16But the sculptures are getting bigger.
00:19Animals that seem to be moving.
00:22Birds that seem to flap their wings.
00:26All of these are made of driftwood.
00:29Or trees that were thrown into the sea or river.
00:47But don't be fooled.
00:49The Briton James Doran Webb has a Filipino heart.
00:53And here at James' Driftwood Studio in Cebu,
00:56it seems like a miracle is happening because the wood they picked is still there.
01:01It's even getting better.
01:15And it's really big.
01:16But don't be fooled.
01:17He's really trying to make it bigger.
01:19Even the posing of the animals needs to be right.
01:22James' driftwood sculptures have been exhibited at various international exhibits in China, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.
01:44It's not a joke that it takes time to make these sculptures.
01:47This is what James will show us later.
01:50The sculptures of various animals are made of recycled wood.
01:54It doesn't just take a week or two to make.
01:58But it takes a long time to make.
02:02If paper mache art is made of recycled paper,
02:06these sculptures are made of driftwood.
02:11My process is really simple.
02:13So I start off with a recycled stainless steel structure.
02:17And that structure gives it the stability and the longevity.
02:20And upon the stainless steel structure, I attach the long dead wood.
02:26My biggest challenge is knowing when to stop.
02:29In my eyes, my sculptures are never finished.
02:33I could go on tweaking them and improving them as long as I had them there to improve.
02:39His team's support in building these sculptures is a huge help.
02:45Driftwood sculptures are things that are given love and have a new meaning.
