The last of seven. I carved a series of seven vases from this one ash, and the other six have all found their homes. This is the one that remains. It belongs to the pebble series: vases sized to fit in the hand, shaped to remind you of the stones you look out over on the Gimli shoreline where this tree grew. Small, smooth, and meant to be held.
This ash grew at my brother and sister-in-law's place on the shoreline at Gimli, right beside the fire pit. There is a photograph of a sunrise over the lake in my archive; that is the exact sunrise this tree watched every morning of its existence. It came down in 2023, and seven vases came out of it. This is the last one still with me.
One of one. When it is gone, it is gone. Ships worldwide, fully insured, from the Winnipeg workshop. Every piece carries its tree’s record: where it stood, its rings, and the carving on film. Leave your details and Sean replies personally, usually the same day.
