50th Gifts

We found a couple trees that were established in 1969, and created these stunning product featuring the half century of annual rings.  Each of the 50 annual rings represents one year of the tree's life.  In the words of Herman Hesse "one can read its whole history in the luminous inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured."
