In 2010, Abbotsbury employed the chainsaw artist Matthew Crabb to carve a 200 year old oak tree which had fallen after a particularly bad winter.
Crabb has appeared on ITV's This Morning, creating simple carvings for Irish landscape designer and television personality Diarmuid Gavin.

Although Crabb achieved second place beating the world champion, at the end of competition auction his "Dragon's Mouth Throne" fetched twice that of the carving awarded first place, sparking a debate on BBC Radio 2.
