Gail, I love your site and all your creative ideas. Even though the loss of your tree was a few years ago, you still have the good memories in your ornaments. You taught me an important step in advising to dry the wood slices in the oven. I had problems with cracking/splitting when I made slices from a oak tree we lost, but didn’t know what I was doing wrong – You solved that. Thank you for bringing joy, instruction, inspiration to us all. Have a beautiful Thanksgiving too. Kathy

I wish I had the foresight when we had to have our beautiful Sycamore taken down. We not only lost our tree but all the wildlife it supported. I missed the birds and lizards. We lost the shade it provided and the music of the breeze rustling through her leaves.
I enjoy your emails and projects! Thank you for sharing.
I now also regret selling my Singer sewing machine when we moved! LoL I have been looking for a sofa table that has character and I prefer handmade.
Thank you for your ebook! Going to read it now.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

What a beautiful way to preserve the memory of the tree! Can’t wait to see what you do with the larger pieces.

A nice memento to have, for sure. I like the gold on black. Please keep us informed about how they last. Will the bark stay on, will they split? Some of my tree creations have and some haven’t.

Sad that it had to come down but so happy you got to save a few pieces of it…and now have a reminder of your old friend each holiday season. If trees could only tell the stories of the adventures played out in the protection of their limbs. Merry Christmas Gail and may the New Year bring blessing abundance!

We are constantly having limbs fall, and have had to take two trees down. DL has used some pieces for live edge tables, and we have wood curing for a new dining room table, but I love these quick and easy projects!

Great idea Gail! I like making things out of tree limbs too. Merry Christmas!
