This large and interesting piece is the root section of an eastern red cedar tree that once grew on a property near our Central Texas ranch. It is a visually striking natural piece that could be used for decorative purposes or as a unique mounting surface for air plants.
The stump was collected from an area that was logged for red cedar in the early 1900's. Given the location of the stump and the amount of decay that has occurred, this tree was likely felled during that period of time. The tree providing this piece was most certainly alive when the Civil War was fought, however the bark and sapwood are now completely gone. The resistant reddish-brown hardwood is all that remains.
This piece displays wonderfully weathered and colorful surfaces, flowing lines as well as natural troughs and recesses. The wood has been washed and scrubbed to remove the vast majority of any loose material. The stump will not stand upright without support of some type unless it is modified.
When positioned as seen in all but the fifth and sixth listing photographs, the stump stands 21 inches tall and has roots that extend up to 10 inches from the main trunk. At the widest points it measures approximately 18 X 8 inches. This very sturdy piece of wood weighs 9-1/2 pounds.
