49. Turning Trauma Into Triumph

Turning Trauma Into Triumph

After almost a year of really hard work to try and get our home, garden, business and family back on track again, at last the final reminder of the trauma we have been through has been removed and transformed. 'John' from 'Twisted Timbers' brought his Lucas Mill to turn the pieces of the jarrah tree that fell on our house into slabs. 

This has been an expensive investment for us and will mean a couple of years of patience as the slabs dry but we have been rewarded by the discovery that the jarrah is birds-eye jarrah and is highly prized among woodworkers. Eventually the slabs will be turned into timeless and beautiful features, either by incorporating them into our home as furniture or by on-selling them to complete the myriad of other projects we need to get done.
