Information: Dogwood 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 becomes spalted
would produce a burl which is
wood that was in the process of rotting and had a bunch of fungi in
the wood. The fungi makes lines and results in some wild looking
figure.
Redwoods
are the tallest living trees on earth. In the mid 1800’s logging
operations took place in Northern California, where these trees
grow, leaving behind a bunch of stumps that were deemed unusable.
These stumps are now being salvaged. Most of this salvaged wood has
been dried over a hundred years. The stumps often have burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some
stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots.
This burl wood has an amazing
amount of figured birdseye-- probably some of the highest
concentration of birdseye in any wood in the world. |
