Walnut Tree

We cut down two walnut trees a few weeks ago.   This is what one looked like the afternoon it was cut.  

No doubt from that center that this is walnut. 

Over time, the wood oxidizes and the whole cut surface goes pretty brown.  

Notice how wet it looks.   Trees draw sap down from the twigs, not up from the roots.   The stump didn't release sap at all, but all the logs did.

We've been walking by this log for a couple of years now and it's always been just a log.  Then one day, Lily and I stopped and laughed and said, 'Do you see that?'    So I snapped the pic.   Then when I had it pulled up on the computer, Eric saw it from across the room and said, 'Is that...?  That looks like a...' and we all said, 'I know!'
