Birch Re-Use

After moving into our home, there were, sadly, a couple of trees that needed to be taken out. We gave most of the wood to a friend, but I was unable to part with this pile of branches.

I haven't known what to do with these until a few days ago when I went through the pile and found a birch branch. I asked my husband to cut it for me and came up with some interesting blocks to use for printing.

I love this texture.
