Oak - Colonial Country Club area, Fort Worth

This tree was at the intersection of Colonial Pkwy and Country Club lane in Fort Worth. It became unstable after the June 16, 2019 storm that rolled through Fort Worth on a Sunday afternoon, bringing very high winds. This was exactly one week after a bigger storm hit east Dallas and wiped out a lot of old growth there. The owners stated that it was too unstable and too close to the house to keep it up after the storm.

This is probably the heaviest tree that I’ve worked with. Even the smaller pieces that I’ve made some bowls out of are incredibly dense and heavy. The winch on my trailer was put to the test.
