You have a wonderful imagination, to have saved this piece of lightning struck hickory from the firewood pile. It is sooo cool, well done! ... Oh! I love the way you put those maple butterflys in.
Nice projects, just now stumbled on them. Gotta love that hickory, one of my favorite woods. It's always nice to "recycle" damaged or old wood that can have a new life! Nice to see another female making sawdust too.
