Chair with cast iron
sides and slats made from Photinia (a genus of large shrubs in the
Rosaceae family). A friend gave me the old faded iron pieces, all
that was left from a chair broken long ago. After trimming a
large shrub in my yard, I discovered that I accumulated a lot of
long hard branches that would make good chair slats.
Alternate colored stain on the slats and a new faux-stone finish
on the iron gave an old chair new being. 
Coat-rack made from a branch near the graft of an English
Walnut on a Black Walnut tree, revealing beautiful burl with
colorful swirls, mounted on a concrete stand decorated in spring
color. The branch revealed an underlying feminine shape and
essence as I followed the natural contours and sculpted through
the outer layer.
Mailbox stand on a
rural road. A branch from an Umbrella tree snapped during a
storm. The beautiful red and white wood with dark overtones
in the grain counterbalances the color and angle of the mailbox.
