‘Beaver’ Tree

Living and creating on a farm affords opportunities to use and repurpose all sorts of organic materials. You’ve heard the term ‘busy as a beaver’? The farm has a lake and five ponds where our resident wood chippers make use of local poplar and willow to plug up any water movement. To ensure the water flows through their dams I often remove key sections that allow the water to flow downstream to feed the watershed. 

I love the sculptural feel of the ends where the beavers has done their own whittling. The tree can be completely disassembled and packed flat. 

Re assembly can be by the tiny letters inscribed on each piece near the entry hole or however you wish to express your own Beaver Tree.
