Polarding tree opens up

I took out a middle section – It looked exciting as a blank for å serving dish.
This is why: Once upon a time, the people on the farm stopped harvesting this branch right here. Maybe the polarding continued higher up, maybe not.

In my blank, the end of the polarding time became visible. How long ago? I leave it to others to count the growth rings.

Styvingstre åpner seg

Billedserie – fortsettelse https://snabelen.no/@frierbyen/115577884863540807

Fra en av de store greinene over rotstokken tok jeg ut et midtparti med mye liv i.
Det så spennende ut som fatemne.

Etter noen runder i benken skjønte jeg hvorfor.
En gang for lenge siden stoppet folkene på gården å høste denne greina akkurat her.
Treet sto midt på tunet og ble med tida et tuntre.
Kanskje fortsatte styvingen høyere opp, kanskje ikke.

I mitt fatemne var det slutten på styvinga som kom til syne.
Hvor lenge siden dette kan ha vært er et enkelt forskningsprosjekt.
Jeg overlater til andre å telle årringene utenfor den gamle styvingsknuten.

A centuries-old Pollarding tree, an ash, was felled by the storm Amy in October.
At a farm below Bindingsnuten by Nutheim in Flatdal.

I had the opportunity to pick up some goodies. Just above the rootstock are the best pieces – blanks for huge bowls from where the large branches split, with strong contrasts and fantastic play in the dark heartwood.

My this year's only Christmas market takes place at Skulehuset in Svartdal on Saturday, November 25th – with something extra for the little ones ...who these days may never have seen or had real money. This time to on their own buy Bowls – like those in use for food in this place in Telemark in the olden days. I will also put on a selection of bowls and plates for the adults.
