too good to burn..

mum's beloved front yard birch tree was cactus.
So the tree-lopper arrived & within a few hours is was sliced into grill-sized pieces & loaded onto the wood pile for year-long seasoning...
but no! Birchy lives to see another day & has now arrived at the studio as part my new display :)
(the studio is open today & tomorrow if you'd like to have a look)
