“In 1954, Grandma moved into her new suburban ranch home. She planted a red cedar in the front yard. Until recently, it was one of the many stately trees that graced the neighborhood. It sent a root under the neighbor's parking pad which cracked the cement. The workers damaged the root which destabilized the cedar, and we had to cut it down. I asked the tree cutters to save me three pieces from the trunk that I would later make into tables. After a couple years of procrastination, they weathered in the backyard. At that point I gave up the idea of making the tables myself, and I brought all the pieces to John Wayne at DeathGhost to see what might be done. John Wayne worked several weeks and created three beautiful tables, now cherished by her grandchildren.”
