Prospect Park Wall Shelf
Feb 06, 2019
When Cook had the chance to use some wood from an ancient elm tree in Prospect Park, he couldn’t pass it up. At 89 in. dia., it was one of the largest trees taken down in New York City. The elm, with its crazy grain, was difficult to work, he says, but with time and “mindful” milling, Cook achieved the wall shelf you see here. “Now it hangs in my living room across from the park where it lived for 200 years.”
