John Siblik used some of his farmland to grow corn and other vegetables for his personal use, but perhaps the most valuable crop he ever obtained from his land was a dead cherry tree, which he had milled into boards of various dimensions for a minimal cost, which he then shaped into frames and other uses. He gave me two cross sectional pieces of the trunk, thinking perhaps I could use this end grain cherry wood for some kind of print project.
