IF TREES COULD SING

in oak •  6 years ago  (edited)

While vacationing in Tennessee this past winter, right around the corner from Vanderbilt University, we went for a walk and came upon some of the most magnificent trees I have ever seen. The obvious imperfections in this tree added to it's splender.

With me standing alongside this one you can get an idea of it's size.

I have a wing span of around 6ft 8 in. That would equate to this tree haveing a circumference of around 16 feet.

You can see the spirals in the trunk of this mammoth tree. Trees of this nature , if milled would be highly figired. Figured timber posses grain characteristics that are unique to that individual tree and make the lumber extremely valuable.

Do you think this tree would provide a ridiclous amount of shade.

I have raised a little tree hugger who has turned into a tree climber as well so that seems like a double parenting win. I love the twist in the tree and the screaming face in the first one!

I am confused at how a tree lover would drive 2 screws into that which he loves in order to promote his business though.....

Thanks for the upvote.
