The strongest wind we’ve experienced since living here. A summer day, dry line from the south. Snapped a 110 year old hickory tree. The tree bent with the wind, but when the gust was over, it sprung back and snapped halfway up. As with all our woodworks projects, we use what is on the ground or unable to survive. Once we milled and dried the wood, the first design for this beautiful wood is a baguette cutting board with build in dipping bowl. Below are some pictures of the project. We just shape the wood. The real magic is the living tree that is the wood.
