Maybe the Phil the groundhog was right about spring coming early. The pussy willows are blooming!
There is a burl on the tree right across the street from our house.
Have you ever seen beautiful bowls that are made out of tree burls?
And this is a walnut burl German chest~
My mom loves beautiful wood and she could go on and on with pictures all day long. If you are interested, Pinterest has more beautiful burl pieces.
This rock heart has been on this property since we moved here~
Happy Friday, everybuddy!
Molly
that is wonderful andevery pice is an art piece... mother nature makes the best creations ;O)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Molly & Mom we just love that wood. I inherited a Walnut glass cabinet from my Grandmother and I just love the wood but I have never seen burls made into objects they really are beautiful. What a great stone, our Boys loved collecting stones when they were little and they both have one each as paper weights and the others they collected are in our garden near their den with all the shells they collected over the years too.
ReplyDeleteWe can still see you have some snow.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Susie & Treacle xx
You and your mom make Friday’s fun! Thank you
ReplyDeleteHappy Nature Friday Molly. We love the burl bowls.

ReplyDeleteI too love burl-wood! Love to see the pussy-willows... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
That must've been a BIG burl to make a whole dresser out of! But it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWe went around the yard yesterday looking for signs of spring. We didn't find much. The trees aren't budding yet and no flowers are popping up. We're having a storm today but maybe after that the signs will be there.
ReplyDeleteMany fruit trees have blossoms here too, but it's cold. I need some warm to know spring his coming.
ReplyDeleteMolly is a pretty girl.
Have a woof woof day and weekend, Molly. My best to your mom. ♥
Oh Molly I give your Nature Friday post a grade of 1,000,000.00
ReplyDeleteI love the heart and the bowl and chest but mostly I
love your photo

We thought that rodent was nuts, but maybe Phil was right.
ReplyDeleteThose bowls are so beautiful, Molly! And our mom LOVES the Pussy Willows! We don't have them here, and she misses seeing them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday to you, too!!!
Cammie!
Mom isn't familiar with those burl bowls, but they sure are beautiful. What a lucky find with that heart stone - it must have been placed there to welcome you and Mom.

We never knew that tree burls are what makes those beautiful pieces. I guess we learned something good today!
ReplyDeleteWe wish spring was coming our way . . . ,
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Molly. We thinks you are a very pretty girl, like us. (But I am the only terrier in the house.) What a cool, heart-shaped stone! And we didn't know about burls, but we found out when we asked Mr. Google. It was nice to come visit. XOX Xena
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Miss Molly. Spring isn't coming early here, we have a ton of snow!! And I really do mean a ton.
ReplyDeleteWhat khool pictures...

I love beautiful wood too, and aren't those pieces gorgeous! We sure hope Phil was right, and we love pussy willows. I haven't seen any growing wildly in a long time. We used to pick so many when I was a kid!
