The farmer planted the baby oak more than ¾ of a century ago on a farm just north Courtenay. 
It’s grown strong and proud for more than seven decades, until this last spring when a big storm hit the shores of the Salish Sea, bringing the mighty oak to the ground. 
It sounds like a sad story unfolding, until you see the next chapter in the life of this grand old oak, thanks to artist James Whyte. He has ensured that its legacy lives on in these incredible “live” edge bowls - the kind of treasures that heirlooms are made of.
