Every now and then I find a piece of wood that belongs in a burn pile, but I see somethng redeemable in it.  I use a little hard work and sometimes some resin to hold it together and turn it into a one-of-a-kind beauty.  I have taken wood from the 2018 Camp Fire and turned memories and recovery into pieces.  I have taken chunks of 100 year old lake docks and turned history into bowls, salt & pepper shakers and more.
