This past spring (2006) a new radio station came to the town of Newberry,
Michigan (Eagle 96.7 FM).
The old trees on the west side of the lot were cut down. These trees were very
old and large.
The trees were cut up into firewood size pieces and hauled off except for this
one piece.
This piece laid out in the sun buy this maple stump for two months or more and
became very weathered and cracked.
I drove by this piece most everyday waiting to see if anyone that had claim to
it would remove it.
One day it got the best of me and I called the new radio station to ask if I
could pick it up. A week or
so later I received an email saying I could have the piece and to come and get
it.
When I cut into this gnarly piece of firewood I could see it was something more than I had
expected.
The new radio station was interested in the history of this property and I
thought that this piece of wood
from this 100 year old plus tree that once towered over the property would tie
in with the history.
