Two pieces with story and history...headed to the shop of a fellow veteran. Cannot wait to see them finished and then to a great benefit auction.
Sugar Maple half log crotch section...freehand cut spring 2020. Origin...this is a piece of one of the many Sugar Maple trees that lined the entry drive to Harrisburg Military Post (HMP)/HQ 28ID PA National Guard.
White Oak small...stunning crotch figured piece from 1757 "Witness tree" that grew about 8 miles west of Carlisle. "Possible" that General Washington and troops saw this tree when they marched past in 1794 on their way from Carlisle to western Pennsylvania to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion.
