Welcome
A tree in any form, being life or death, has purpose beyond usefulness and timelessness. To almost a spiritual nature, trees have been supporters of life here on earth for longer than man himself, as a precious commidity in fuel and shelter.
Much of the art you see on this site has been constructed by wood I have aquired from local cabinet and woodworking shops that was to be disposed of. I am able to use the remains of wood, other builders have left over from their useful lumber purchases.
A tree is a terrible thing to waste.
