Never give up on nature. Spring of 2016 lightning hit our large Crimson Maple tree.

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.
