Burled Maple Tree


Brian and I wanted a sense of drama in our new entrance-way to our cottage.  This 12-foot tall maple tree is covered with burls and we decided to use it as a focal point as you enter our home.  It stood against the garage for almost a year until the building was completed.



Brian did not change the appearance of the tree in a major sense but preserved it with several coats of oil.  After securing the tree to the wall, we were able to bring a distinctive piece of the forest into our home.
