The Sycamore

I am apparently obsessed with this sycamore tree. I found out it is used in guitar veneers, furniture, butchers blocks, and flooring. I think I may try to get this machined into usable pieces.

I am figuring I can make cabinets to replace the ones I lost, a dresser for my bedroom, a matching four poster bed, and perhaps even hardwood floor to make up for the floor I will inevitably have to replace. I may continue this blog as recovery continues. Its not just a quick thing.

I got the tree off my kitchen with help from the good people at Coastal Pools and my neighbor. Its amazing what a tractor and a Stihl chainsaw can do to a huge oak tree in just a few short hours.

Here is an image of the moon Tuesday night.
