What do you do with a branch that has decided to fall off it's tree?
The grain of the wood was too beautiful to mulch.
It definitely was not destined for fire wood - there was potential, but what?
I 'ever so kindly' asked the Mr to use the drop saw to cut the branch into cross sections of varying widths - which he did.
Much sanding coarse through to fine was enough to induce a mighty sore set of muscles on my right arm.
A hearty application of Bees wax with Lavender polish......
The result...
The best play blocks in town!

LOVE EM! Well done - I can imagine they required some tenacity. Sooo...how about the rest of that tree?
Fantastic idea. They look sooo much friendlier than plastic ones. And I love how they don't stack perfectly. A true reflection of real life!
So talented and imaginative to see play blocks from a fallen tree. They are fabulous.
They are definitely the best play blocks. I'd like to have a play with them myself. Great thinking
They're beautiful. I love the natural beauty of wood. I want one!
Beautiful Blocks Peta. The blogging looks to be going well
Peta, the fallen tree blocks are great, bet the kids (and you) have fun with them. Great to see the tree came in so usefully.
They are one of the most creative things I've seen !
Love them !

What an unbelievable and eco friendly idea!! I want some for my little princess!
Did you just melt beeswax and paint it on? How would I make lavender oil?? Thanks for the great idea!
