Cherry
Height 11 inch
(more or less depending on how placed on stand)
Largest diameter 10-1/4 inches
The tree was estimated to be just over 75 years old.
It grew for years in a wooded area in west Tennessee.
That land became part of a farm
that later became a subdivision.
Living in the subdivision at a fence line for 31 years
must have been interesting for the tree
as it observed the lives of several families.
Not long ago the tree met its end by the current homeowner.
I rescued this section from the base of the tree.
It was clear the tree had not enjoyed an easy life.
It had several scars and quite a few nails.
Detail of interior pyrography
Now the interior spirals
and windows open to the outside
honor the many stories this tree could have told.
