I believe I get the most enjoyment out of working with wood when there is some type of 'connection', whether through a known history or through the creation of a new one. This piece transcended both, and then some. While I reminisced about my father-in-law I also saw this piece and the others to come in the homes of family members, where they could, and would, hold, cherish and remember the good times under and around this great tree and the man, the father, grandfather, husband and friend, who called it his own.

This is truly a beautiful bit of art that you have created. Wonderful shape, well executed, and with some assistance by "the old man", some incredible grain to enhance it all with. Well done, sir, well done. Peace, Mitchell I see I’m not the only one that applies sentimental value to all things wood.
