Here’s a tree that we could all use. For a long time.

Enough wood for ‘Oliver’

This is in the whaling village of Lahaina on Maui.  O.K. It’s hasn’t been a whaling village in a lot of years — but you know – tourist marketing.

It is a Banyan tree planted in 1873 but not by any current member of our club.  It has 12 “trunks” plus the core shown in this photo.

On Molokai.  In a protected park.  Sigh.

Seriously, this was in a groove of beautiful trees overlooking the Leprosy Colony at Kaulapapa on Molokai.  It was overcast the day we were there but the view was spectacular.  Of course, to a turner, the trees were the scenery.  You can’t turn a vase from a sunset!
