Piece #625 – Oak Burl, Calcite Inlay – 12″ x 3″
In 2017 Hurricane Irma blew through Central Florida leaving death and destruction – to many trees. One special, 100 year old oak tree fell to Irma’s destruction. That Winter Park Oak tree had over 50 burls growing on it. I got most of them. This piece came from one of them. I filled in some of the natural voids with calcite crystals. I left the two big voids (holes) because it gives it a new dimension of character.
