Who could not love such tiny perfection?

A fallen oak tree, crafted into a record player and discs to sing it' own swan song, is todays magic created by Steve Parker. A funeral for a tree is a beautiful sculptural homage to the life of a wonder and recognition of all the life it supported. 

"I turned this tree into a record player. A few months ago a tree in my front yard died. Instead of hauling it away I turned it into a victrola, to play it's own funeral. I cut it's trunk into slices and carved grooves into them and built this wooden victrola with a toothpick needle. Each record plays bird song from the birds that used to roost in it's branches. Now as the wood keeps cracking, the sound glitches and fades like a memory you're trying to hold onto"    Steve Parker
