Applewood & Morel Mushroom Earrings

Applewood Morel Mushroom Earrings

These earrings are made from a very old apple tree on the farm where I grew up.  My Grandpa remembered it as an old tree from the time he was young.  It was an unknown crab apple with a yellow skin and a small amount of red blush.  Over the years, many special family pictures have been taken in front of it. The tree is now hollow (as old apples get), and has been home to several animals over the years.  My Dad was a skilled woodworker; he worked with old trees to preserve their memory on more than one occasion.  I make these to now, in memory of him and the tree.   ~ Zack

“There is a sacred relationship between all things. I am particularly fascinated with the connection between mushrooms and trees. It may be that they are very dependent on each other. Anyways…spent every wet Tuesday hunting morels.”
