Our plum trees at the side of our house have very little fruit this year, however, the ancient plum trees in the back garden are producing grape-like masses of plums. We picked a few yesterday afternoon, and I found a beautiful bit of bark (more than an inch thick) from the Douglas Fir logs to display them on. I'm going to attempt to sand and polish up the bark to make a more permanent decorative bowl. We'll see how that goes!
More golf today - at Braemar. We all played badly yesterday, so fingers crossed for more success today.
The plum trees round us are weighed down by fruit too…..unfortunately we haven’t one! We love a Victoria plum, lucky to have had a friend give us some. Love the bark bowl…..sounds a great idea to try & sand & polish.
@busylady Yes, I thought I'd try just sanding the inside smooth side of the bark, leaving the rest in its natural form. However, I guess I'd need to treat it or at least oil/varnish it to make sure it's not full of live beasties and to preserve it/stop it falling apart.
