#garryoak

Found some absolutely gorgeous Garry Oak today! And I was lucky enough to find some fruit, too. 🌳 Quercus garryana 🍃AKA Oregon White Oak. 🍂Fagaceae (oak, beech) family. You can differentiate this species from other oaks because it has noticeably thick and leathery leaves. #plants #trees #oak #garryoak #quercusgarryana #fagaceae #pnw #plants #botany #plantid #plantidentification #treeidentification

My first attempt at #ebonized #whiteoak using vinegar and steel wool. I had made the concoction a year ago for another project but the steel wool didn't seem to be breaking down fast enough ,so I wound up painting it black. Hear we are a year later and the scary looking brew worked like a charm! #ebonizedoak #stainedwood #vinegarandsteelwool #tanninsatwork #custommade #customfurniture #customwoodworking #handcrafted #coffeetable #urbansalvage #reclaimedwood #garryoak #oregonoak #madeintacoma #tacoma_wa #creatingfineartforliving (at Madera Fine Decorative Furnishings)

#philanthropicwoodworking I'm a little surprised no has used this #hashtag before. I credit @dixieduncan from @gray_magazine for the inspiration! So come on #woodworkers let's see what you've made to benefit others! ... This #coffeetable made from #salvagedwood features #handmade #tiles made by my daughter's 5th grade class @seaburyschool. The kids 3D rendered a design which was then 3D printed into a stamp to be pressed into the clay tiles. The legs of the table were #ebonized with a concoction of vinegar and steel wool as shown in my previous post. ... #creatingfineartforliving #tacoma_wa #madeintacoma #oregonoak #garryoak #tanninsatwork #custommade #customfurniture #furnituredesign #furniture #interiordesign #forthechildren (at Temple Theatre)

27 pages of my new comic in the works. I hope to be printing at the end of summer.

The Garry Oak tree is found extensively on ocean shores on Vancouver Island, forming an important ecosystem for wild herbs like camas lillies, Eastern lillies and western buttercups. Coastal peoples ate the acorns roasted or steamed. #garryoak #garryoakecosystem #garryoaktree #vancouverisland #vancouverislandbc https://www.instagram.com/p/CE0g5qRjrYG/?igshid=4po84nfdrdc3
