We hoped it would recover and continue to provide shade and beauty. But by spring 2019 it was dying and needed to be removed.
I have been drying the wood until March of 2020. Using chain saw, made several bowl blanks.
This one turned out to be a beautiful bowl.
I can sometimes see the reflection of the old tree in the shinny surface. The tree lives on as this bowl.
