    If you could just send me that oak tree, I have the perfect tiny little owl for the owl hole. I had to laugh at your reference to 'rocket scientist.' My daughter worked in England for a while, and was engaged to an actual rocket scientist from Leeds. She didn't think it was too funny when I laughed when told of his profession. Who would ever think you would meet a real rocket scientist. Thanks for bringing back that memory.

      It's definitely more satisfying working on fresher flexible jins, but this work is necessary to get the stump manageable down the line I think using the Dremel on it to refine it should be more satisfying

    lol - do your trees start physically shaking when your family approach them with the torch and chainsaw?!? The owl hole looks marvelous - very natural - hard to believe it was made with a power tool. Really interested to see how the different segments of the hawthorn trunk sort themselves out - which branches live, where the live edges develop - fascinating!!
