HURRICANE WOOD


MANY OF THESE PIECES WERE MADE FROM A CHERRY TREE THAT WAS UPROOTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA AND WAS ON THE GROUND A YEAR BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE ENTIRE TREE. THE WOOD HAD SPALTED,  WHICH CAUSED THE STREAKS OF BEAUTIFUL COLORS NOW PREVALENT IN THE WOOD. 

MICHAEL'S PLANS WERE TO MAKE A 101  SIGNED & NUMBERED PIECES FROM THIS TREE, BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF WOOD (AND MICHAEL)THE NUMBER WILL BE LESS.
 

THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF KATRINA HAS PASSED, IF YOU WANT A PIECE OF HISTORY AND ALSO A COLLECTIBLE  NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO GET IT. MICHAEL WILL BE TURNING ITEMS FROM OTHER KATRINA WOOD HE PERSONALLY COLLECTED, RED OAK AND HICKORY FROM HIS PROPERTY, CHERRY, BEECH, AND WHITE OAK FROM A GOOD FRIENDS PROPERTY. 

ALTHOUGH MANY, MANY TREES WERE WASTED BY THIS HURRICANE BECAUSE OF MICHAEL'S DESIRE TO DO HIS PART AND RECYLCLE THIS CHERRY TREE HAS LIVED ON. THE OTHER TREES HE HAS SALVAGED PARTS OF WILL DO SO ALSO. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THEIR SHOWCASE. 

FEW PEOPLE WILL HAVE ITEMS MADE FROM HURRICANE WOOD SINCE MOST  WAS MULCHED, CUT FOR FIREWOOD, OR DECAYED. WILL YOU BE ONE?
