A Patriotic Albero

Some of you may have seen this image featured a few months ago in the Daily Times? Nevertheless, this was an Oak Tree in my Father's front yard that became diseased. My Father took it upon himself to cut it down, climbing up into the tree and cutting away, piece by piece, limb by limb.

While doing so, he made a run to Delmar and ran into a couple of guys who were selling some wood art and asked if they'd be interested in doing something with the tree in his front yard. They agreed to look at it and the next thing you know he wanted something patriotic and showed them a photo of a Soldier and asked if they could duplicate it. The photo above is what is left of the tree. I don't know about any of you but that's really cool!

If you'd like the address to go see it, e-mail me at alberobutzo@wmconnect.com and I'll give it to you. It is in Salisbury.
