Plateau live oak core sculpture (11”l x 16”w x 9”h). $190. This heartwood core is from a large live oak that died from oak wilt and was bulldozed in the 1970s. It was found by my brother-in-law in a large pile, where it was half buried in soil.

ALSO NOT FOUND ARE THE TWO FLAME-LIKE VERTICAL BLACK WALNUT SCULPTURES, THE LARGER ON A LIMESTONE BASE AND THE SMALLER ON A CEDAR BASE. WE ALSO NEED A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE TWO SMALL, SHALLOW CEDAR ELM BOWLS/TRAYS.

Pecan bowl with spalting (32“l x 8“w x 2.5”h). $125. The spalting in this piece may have begun between the early spring of 2021, when a large pecan limb broke off its trunk during a wind storm, and the autumn, when I carved off a section of that limb to create this bowl.
Ashe juniper core sculpture (12“l x 11“w x 11h”). $150. This piece is from a large juniper that had died recently and had not had time for the light streaks of sap wood to decay.

Ashe juniper bowl (13”l x 11.5”w x 4"h) $75. Carved from the heartwood core of a tree that had been bulldozed in the 1970s and whose sapwood had completely decomposed.

Black walnut bowl (25“l x 6“w x 1.5”h). $190. This decorative bowl or tray was carved from a slab of the black walnut tree washed onto the bank of the Leon River near Jonesboro, Texas during the Central Texas floods of 1957. NOTE.

Large, shallow post oak bowl (28"l x 11.5 'w x 5"h). $225.

Ashe juniper bowl (18“l x 14“w x 4”h). $190. This shallow bowl was carved from the base of a juniper that had been pushed in the 1970s. The sapwood had all rotted away, leaving only heartwood. The projections are the bases of large limbs that had grown from the base of the tree near the soil surface.
Post oak core sculpture (10”l x 7.5”w x 9.5”h). $125. This small sculpture is from the decayed core of a large post oak. The effects of time, insects, and fungal attack can be seen in the intricate swirling patterns of the remaining light and dark wood, as well as the void through in the center of the piece caused by heart rot.

Cedar elm bowl with disease reaction wood (16“l x 6“w x 3.5”h). $90. This bowl was carved from a limb on a large tree that had recently been toppled by a strong wind. This section of the limb was swollen and the wood discolored by the tree’s reaction to a localized attack by insects and fungi. WE HAVE A SECOND BOWL SIMILAR TO THIS ONE THAT WE NEED TO PICTURE ON THE AVAILABLE PAGE.

I cut this unique burl from the side of a very large, long-dead plateau live oak standing along Highway 36 just east of Hamilton, Texas-- a tree that my grandmother played under as a young child, soon after her family moved to Hamilton in 1882. It is an actual burl formed by reaction of the tree to the death of a large limb, which had since rotted away. GALLERY PAGE ONLY.
