Will show some photographs of the font in the next post it is coming on very well.<br /><br />Hi Jess, I agree trees are magnificent and they live on in the many objects that are made from them. Good to hear you purchased some shuttles. I love the smell of wood too, its the sawdust in the house which can be a bit annoying at times though!Sally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-79854001725098474432012-01-20T10:45:01.784+00:002012-01-20T10:45:01.784+00:00I love trees.

I once had him practically hanging off a bridge that was by a big ditch just to get a leaf from this one tree. But the leaf was awesome, it was way bigger than my face. lol <br /><br />As far as the wood goes, I love the smell. My Papaw was a carpenter, so the smell reminds me of his woodshed :o) I actually purchased a couple of the shuttles from Jane's shop this past go around, and I love smelling the bags. :o)** jess! **https://www.blogger.com/profile/16478678170241423901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-84798822371332371262012-01-20T09:25:36.083+00:002012-01-20T09:25:36.083+00:00Hi Sally

Next time you are out in the woods, collect some acorns and "off you go". You'll have your own plantation in about a hundred years!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Many thanks for sharing part of your interesting life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-52934763510696156192012-01-17T22:12:01.789+00:002012-01-17T22:12:01.789+00:00Lovely tree story!

It makes me appreciate even more the work that goes into your shuttles!! You must learn to carry at least photos of the shuttles to explain your wood 'craziness' (LOL)!<br /><br />DH and I 'rescued' a white pine back around 2000 when the township was cutting down some trees near our home, along a main road. But they 'saved' one with the roots because it was young and easy to 'pull out' (for them). They said they were going to replant it, but then a few days later they decided not to, so they gave us permission to 'take' it - which we did ourselves a few days later, after we dug a big hole in our yard for it. Small as it was, it was still heavy for us, and we loaded it into our car's trunk for the short journey to our yard. A few cars went by, and I don't know what they thought! <br /><br />Amazingly, even though it's not as bushy as most white pines, it's now 30 feet tall and enjoying its '2nd chance'. We call it our "Charlie Brown" tree!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.com
