Good morning to everyone at WB. I am hoping someone here will have this specific wood. Father Jason at the church that I attend will be leaving his residence in Nolita, NYC as he has a higher calling in Detroit. He was a big part of the community and he always had inspiring homily that connected to what was going on or related to life in general. I can tell he was passionate about his calling- he was very inspiring and left profound homilies. He was a story teller very similar to our @Mike Hill. I would like to find the special wood I listed on my subject line and get a custom fountain pen made and gift it to him before he takes off to his new calling this July. What more fitting it is to be able to go your brothers and sisters here at Wood Barter to find the wood and someone to custom make one.
Anyhow, when I landed back in NYC back in January 2019, pre-Covid, I stumbled into this little church that I always passed by as a teenager when I attend school in the city. I was always intrigued by it, but never really went in and decided to do so after 37 years. I was rather going through some hard and difficult times. Decided to go to mass and low behold, Father Jason gave a profound homily that was memorable. I decided that I will attend his mass at every Sunday. So I did the best I can and every time he spoke during the homily, there was relevancy, it was impactful, relatable and resonated with such importance. Now you don’t have to be a church goer to relate to what I am talking about. You can got to any meeting, show, or whatever when there is a speaker- they will either bore the out of you, speak technically in ways to lose your interest, have a story that is very choreographed in a way like a calculated script (like a computer robot) and at times will put you to sleep or make you think about other things. This is not the case with Father Jason- he spoke like it came from the bottom of his heart, relatable, personal and had impactful meaning at the end that resonated within your very core.
The reason for the “Dawn Redwood”- it is his favorite and he has try planting it and from what I can recall he didn’t have much luck due because of certain challenges. This particular Dawn redwood is an important that tree was planted here in from what Father told me in the 1970’s. This specific tree was relevant to NYC and spoke about a specific location that was planted in a garden nursery at Liz Christy Community Garden here in Manhattan between Houston Street and the Bowery intersection. It actually has a symbolic meaning as it was used to “memorialize the workers that died on September 11, 2001. It does dominate the nursery landscape as it is growing really fast, really tall as it is over 100 feet now and the tallest redwood tree in Manhattan- thinking they have to know how gigantic this species get like the one’s in Oregon and California. This tree I imagined will need to be moved/replanted at some point?
Here is a link:
Here are some photo’s from the site- not mine but, from the website. I thought I took some photo’s of it when I visited it middle of last year and I remember it being shorter and it was planted in the corner- this link shows like it was moved towards the middle of the garden.
Alright, let’s start the ball rolling and I am hoping some members will come through and of course I will fund the blanks and the process build. Thank you everyone.
