Fairhope has an law now that imposes $10K fine for tree cutting.....mmmmm. Across from the 'Captain's House', your house, there is a log house. The tree in the wood cut must be just north at corner St. James? Yet , it could be just south, or across<br />Morphy to the south. Gotta go see I guess.<br />For tree historians, Jackson's Oak in Montrose/Daphne has acclaim.<br />Next to my house is 'split oak'<br />with a trunk divided ages ago. A split large enough to ride a golf cart through.<br />It amazes me that hurricane winds do little to these massive trees, yet pines snap and pecans topple over. And of course, houses claim <br />severe damage or destruction.<br />My pal Denis Hermecz is a present day furniture/cabinet maker/ wood carver.Denis' work sort of resembles Eurick. It is nutso to me that some artists gain acclaim for the most part long after they die, while others, seeming more common in result, are marketed to the level of peer-possession envy.<br />(ML could go back to past blog posts about 'what is art'.)<br />As for me, I built a 7 foot art- glass gradfather clock using a pecan tree downed by hurricane Opal...one of a kind. Art is what it is. <br />Yep, today, I'll ride by to see the 'wood cut' tree wishing ML was in the sidecar for a thrill. It would also be a thrill to have ML in audience for our Chekhov plays that open this week at Theatre 98www.theatre98.org.jaques mulletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825814.post-1966738605430987122010-10-06T15:58:43.712-07:002010-10-06T15:58:43.712-07:00That, Mary Lois... Made my day! Thank you so much...That, Mary Lois... Made my day! Thank you so much. In Danvers, (old Salem Village) I attended the Great Oak School. The school remains, but the tree, its namesake, had to be removed several years ago. It was a legend of a tree, on a bit of a knoll, making it even more impressive. i was able to aquire a few board feet that I hope to carve and hand down to my nephew, who also went there (decades later).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13344019865877813386noreply@blogger.com
