We have a Honey Locust tree in the back yard that is inclined to throw off a lot of seedlings. A couple invaded the peony bed. Over a couple of years, I kept promising myself - and the Management - that I would cut them down. Remained on "the list" for some time. Finally, last summer, I did it. By then, they had established some significant roots. Decided to cut them out with pickaxe, shovel, brute force, etc. Lot of work! After they were out and I was thinking of an ice cold beer as a reward, I kept staring at those roots. Remembering some of the work done by my friend George (Robutacion), I decided to let them dry out to see how they would look on a pen. This is the first one I've turned. Although there is not a lot of root wood left, based on this one, I'm looking forward to doing more. The roots on the MAIN tree are looking more and more inviting . . . http://www.penturners.org/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
