The tree shown here was completely custom. The grown children decided to go together to purchase a tree for the Grandparents as a gift for their golden anniversary. They went to great lengths to communicate how eash branch was to be constructed...how many leaves were needed now, and how many additional leaves might be needed in the future. We took that information and sketched a tree specifically for the Cowan family...and turned our chief custom blacksmith loose on the project. What he created is a masterpiece!
Beautifully forged limbs, twisted and shaped. Roots that look like they belong to an ancient old oak tree. There is even a branch that is short and appears cut-off, signifying the sudded end to a precious life cut short. The family kept and honored his place on the tree.
I think every home should honor those who came before us...who made life possible...who deserve to be remembered long after they leave this world. What better way that with an heirloom quality treasure that will more than likely, out last us all!
