I have no idea how old the monster tree on the main road through Ajijic was when they cut it down a few days ago, but it was the largest in the two walls of trees that separate the carretera from the two lateral roads that run through town on either side of it. I’m saving photos of the main tree for the Sunday Trees prompt, but the chips left on the ground have a beauty all their own—just right for Tuesdays of Texture.

it’s a sad day anywhere in the world when an ancient tree is snuffed

It was completely dead, msjadeli. That is why they cut it down,so don’t be sad.

The chips certainly create a lot of their own texture on both a gross and macro level! And I love the texture and color in the piece of bark!

Was the wood usable? When they cut down the 40 yr old mahogany in front of our house I got to save a bit to dry and hopefully make a table of chair later.
Love the wood texture 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!

I’m sure they use every scrap of wood. Several furniture artists make slab wood furniture and people still buy wood here for fuel so all the scraps will be used as well. Not much winds up as garbage in Mexico. Most things are used, repaired or recycled.
