Apricot Antlers
This probably isn’t what you were expecting when you read “Apricot Season” but, believe me it is totally relevant. I am about to go to the neighbor’s to pick some apricots to make jam, and right inside the shop door sits this interesting reminder that I once had a beautiful, big apricot tree of my own.
Apricot Antlers
This knarly piece of wood resembling an antler IS our old apricot tree. The bugs took it’s life one season during a very long drought, and it stood in the garden for 2 or 3 more years; drying and baking in the sun, then Mike cut it down.
Knarly Faux Antlers
Now the branches have taken on the form of beautiful antlers on a Faux Antelope Skull. The skull itself is resin. But, that’s not the end of the story.
Apricot Table Base
The trunk of the apricot tree became a beautiful table that we use each weekend for the Downtown Farmer’s Market in St. George. The trunk is the base on a cantilevered top, made from recycled flooring, with copper tubing bracing. That makes it easy enough for us to move quickly from the truck to the spot each week.
Mike is a clever man, and never wastes a good piece of wood. The antlers can be purchased at our Etsy shop, under “Artwork”.
