Last year
during a raging storm,
several big branches were
violently torn from a giant tree
in our backyard.
Workmen came to cut the fallen branches
into manageable pieces.
The cross-sections were interesting.

Looks like those branches are about 50 years old. Must have been some storm. Interesting how the wood checked over time.
ReplyDeleteThose storms last year led to closure of a long section of CA Hwy 1 due to the Mud Creek Slide - https://www.dailynews.com/2018/05/01/highway-1-closed-near-big-sur-since-2017-slides-could-reopen-in-fall/
DeleteI'm beginning to believe that there is artistic beauty in just about everything we see. These are awesome finds.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I agree that there is artistic beauty all around us every day!
DeleteI've seen larger pieces like these which were cut, sanded and then lacquered and made into coffee table. They were beautiful as are these.
ReplyDeleteI have seen those, too; and often ones this size made into trivets and smaller ones, coasters...
