Out Of Death...LIFE!


Last October, a storm whipped through that left my beautiful "wiggly willow" felled and impossible to repair.  In removing it, I gave a few of the piece of the trunk to a wood turner friend of mine and then forget about it.

That is, until Friday, when Tim presented me with this amazing bowl that he created from one of it's remnants.  It is the epitome of his art: organic, true to the wood's natural characteristics, impeccably crafted and finished.  20 years in the making, I can't think of a more fitting memorial to this once magnificent tree.
