Cool photo.

I just received my copy of the January Supplement Woodworking Catalogue from Lee Valley. I think this is a pretty cool photo...

While splitting a log from an old tree in her yard, Lee Valley staffer Rachel Buchanan was surprised to find this adjustable wrench embedded inside.

That is a very cool photo, I know of a stainless steel exhaust system embedded in a tree 20 years ago where the tree has nearly completely grown around it

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

About 25 years ago my daughter leaned her collectable 1960s Stingray bicycle againest a maple tree. It is still there because the tree ate it.

Interesting, about the bike and the wrench, how did the wrench handle get broken though?   Looks like a clean cut, by the wood splitter?  I helped straighten a 40 inch Railroad wrench that was discovered in a tree stump.  Did not do the stump chipper any good at all.

I was surmising the wrench cracked as the branch forced it...

I remember that thread, very interesting...
