Pecan Box

A limb from my beautiful pecan tree broke off during a storm. It fell, piercing my neighbor’s carport roof and damaging the grill of her car. I salvaged the limb to make lumber which turned out to be spalted. Using a pattern and adding a bit of walnut, I made a box to present to her with apologies for the inconvenience and damage. She was thrilled.
