-Shame on the power company for turning a blind eye and heartlessly chopping down this massive organism, among the top 10 largest maples in the country. Alas, at least the remains have been put in good hands. Some in the hands of my dad, Nolan Wallenfang, and a few other monster pieces to another noteworthy, local craftsman, Ben Rowley. And in their hands we know this tree will live on. <3
