The Bender Oak

Esteemed wood, ice, and bronze sculptor Marty Long will be using the remaining part of the trunk to create a wooden carving of several acorns and two oak leaves spiraling upward. This sculpture will not be permanent, according to Bunting. Eventually, the trunk and root system will rot away and the sculpture will go with it. The sculpture is set to be worked on and completed over winter break.

Yay! I love this tree- I've always called it the To Kill A Mockingbird tree cause you can SOOOO see Boo Radley putting some goods in there.

(But what will Scout and Jem do with all that junk, all that junk inside that trunk?)
(I love myself, a little.)

ANYWAY. I'm so glad they aren't getting rid of it.
