In the 27 years of my woodworking business, I have never thrown away a knot.

Many people see knots as a defect, but to me knots are the visual representation of a trees struggle to thrive.

Not all little limbs become big branches, but their combined efforts on behalf of the tree as a whole should be celebrated.

Just like human scars they tell a story of sacrifice and healing.

Each of these “scars” has a unique personality and deserve the chance to be appreciated as art.
