Save a Tree….Carve a Tiki

Sadly, this queen palm has died…a toxic disease that affected a couple of our other queens…we were warned it would spread and it did.

No choice but to call the tree trimmer.

However, this is no ordinary tree trimmer.  Behold - Chainsaw Art!

And it just keeps getting better…add the grinder for detail work.

30 minutes from start…(longer than Mr. Trey expected)…here's the result!  Happy Dance!  Pretty awesome seeing the whole process!

As he stands…with a heart tattoo for my tiki loving husband:)

P.S. The artist/tree trimmer info:  Trey Bliffen's Tree Service, 772-475-3378 Stuart, FL

Tellin' Time & WOYWW 97 People!

We had an outdoor clock that had taken a beating from the Florida sunshine..
(This would be the part where I would insert the photo of the original clock, however that's hard to do if you don't take aforementioned photo...so I will leave it to your imagination  and post a SUN effect photo instead...erhmmmm)

So I decided to work on recycling the clock....

And here's where I am so far...

Got to figure those numbers out...embellish...varnish...

Then rehang, stand by and monitor the sun damage.....

before it gets this serious....
