    Reloading book shelf

    Five years ago we felled a couple of huge Harry Potter willow trees.big old n ugly.one had fallen sideways at some point n just kept growing. How big of willow I hear you ask??? I was up off ground about twenty feet up sitting on main trunk cutting off rings with 42" bar and not a lot of it was unused lol.anyway months later splitting it up this one bit of wood caught my eye. Nope not burning that.near perfect right angle change of grain.that lump of wood has sat on my bookshelf for a few years and today I worked out a use for it.Name:  IMG_20240729_104855.jpg

    Left end is all natural.the excess bit I cut off it to get to sit flat against wall,got screws up into it and makes a good right end. My woodwork teacher was heard to mutter "the hori is strong in this one" when I would start screw with a hammer but I'm still making stuff I need so I'm happy,at end of day that's all that matters.Name:  IMG_20240729_160647.jpg
