OwlCrest - A Journey To Reconnect: July 2018

Why OwlCrest

OwlCrest is 40 acres of granite laden beautiful woods atop a mountain in Brattelboro, Vermont. I purchased the land with the intent of making it a retreat where my children, families, and their families could re-connect with the most primitive elements of life. OwlCrest is a place to discover our hidden talents and pursue dreams without complexity or judgement. OwlCrest is a place just to be.....

At dusk, if you sit quietly long enough at the crest of the land and listen, you will hear the rhythms of the forest. Owls calling out their names and asking who else is there. I'm here and who are you? We are just a visitor here, a temporary custodian of something that will soon be forgotten. I lived and worked here once. It was my privilege.

Harvesting a Curly Maple

We harvested a curly maple that was struck by lightning with friends from Vermont, Ashville, Cambridge, and Virginia. Enough slab wood to make more than few tables! About a 1/3 of the tree was rotten, but salvaged some excellent wood.
