Showing Hackberry vases which came off my land in Central KS. Wind and storm fell. I watch these grow after 35 years in the same location.

These are approx. 5" x 7" You can see the bamboo on one and the Fill on the other which was crushed Coran.

You'll have a great memory from that tree. We just had to take down a hard maple I planted some thirty years ago. I hope I can make some nice pieces like you did out of ours. Really nice forms!

That is one beautiful piece John, a keeper. I like what you did with the neck and like you said kept the spalting.
