Stumpy


This is the second in the line of stump pieces.

The orange stump blew apart while it was drying...
With this new yellow piece I have let in dovetail keys to keep the checks in balance.
I think that they add a certain element of contrast to the whole idea that I am reconstructing a tree.
We often lose sight of where the wood we use comes from when we and make furniture.
The end user sometimes does not consider the wood used but refers only to a certain color of stain that they associate with a particular wood.I think that this idea can use some more exploration.
I will keep you posted; I have more trees to put back together.
