Comment

This is the straightly spreading branch of zelkova for age-of-a-branch 28 years.
While I am making I got interested not only about annual rings but also about the fiber of the tree . Then, surface of a work becomes pinstripes automatically.
There are two small swellings in the place gone up from the middle of this branch to the tip end side for a while.
I got interested about a fiber changing with the swellings how.
In the inside of the swelling There is a branch which broke.
