Madrone Take Down

[SeanKroll]

Some develop a weird tri-lobed cross-section that seems to bounter sometimes-extreme lean. Seems like a biomimicry-shape in the making. I have a chunk in the field.

That is pretty weird, Sean.

They are super wild trees.

They are wild to view-prune (thin for filtered view, commonly) and deadwood (view/ aesthetics) hanging out over Puget Sound from cliff/ high-bank tops. You guys should come try.

They crack like mad... Haven't gotten paint (home Depot mis-tints, $12/ gallon) or anchor-seal for ends.

I'm thinking of cookies as trivets, maybe, or a wall-mounted backing piece for hooks for jewelry hanging.

I might get my cs mill out today.
