trees symbolize life. The dogwood blossom that springs every Spring
indicates the end of winter (death) and the beginning of a new life.
Dogwood trees also represent joy and beauty that a new life or
rebirth brings. The color white represents purity and innocence.
According
to legend, Jesus was crucified on a cross that was made from a
dogwood tree. The flower of the dogwood tree has four pedals, like
the four posts of a cross, and the center of the flower resembles
the crown of thorns. Occasionally, a dogwood tree would produce a
burl which is a growth in which the grain
is radically deformed because of some stress or damage and makes
knots and swirly figure. This particular piece of dogwood burl has
outrageous figure and bark inclusions that make for wonderful
character. The 6,000 Year Old Swamp Kauri was growing during the ice age when Woolly Mammoths were roaming and was buried by natural cataclysmic events. This Swamp Kauri is the oldest workable timber on Earth. The tree was discovered by a utility company which were preparing to install utility poles and they came across a huge Kauri tree buried in the ground in New Zealand. The tree was removed and pieces were sent for carbon-dating and these were determined to be around 6,000 years old. This particular piece of Swamp Kauri has nice swirly figure and provides a nice contrast to the Dogwood Burl. |
