One of my customers from a local market contacted me about a black gum tree that had to be taken down on her property. It had a great deal of sentimental value to her and the family. She had grown up with the tree and played in and around it when little. So far she's purchased all the pieces made from it and wants more for extended family members who also want something. This is one of two of the final pieces that will be delivered next week. It was my first time working with black gum. The fibers are twisted, interwoven and run in different directions. 8" tall.
