Tree of life creation Process
Trees of life are circles of wood cut from a tree trunk and crafted with care. Deb never cuts down a tree. Instead, she scavenges for trees that have fallen during storms or that have been cut for other reasons.
She takes the wood, sands it smooth, cuts out the design, and seals it all.
She uses a chain saw to cut the tree into 3/4 inch thick slices
She sands the pieces smooth.
Once the tree rings have thoroughly dried, Deb uses a scroll saw to cut out the silhouette of a tree.
Then she uses a rotary carving tool to add details and sand the tree.
Once the wood has been sealed, Deb adds a piece of stained glass to give it a background.
