The oneTree Exhibition at the Robert Bateman Centre
For almost a century, this old growth Bigleaf Maple from the Cowichan Valley stood witness to events that helped shape Vancouver Island. It needed to come down in October for health and safety reasons.
46 artisans have been selected to celebrate this tree by creating pieces from its wood. The selected pieces will be part of an exhibit at the Robert Bateman Centre November 2015 until January 2016

oneTree artisan update Wayne Muma
"Hi guys, My piece of wood arrived yesterday in perfect condition. The first thing I usually do is to debark the slab. The bark loosened easily. It will sit and rest and hopefully de-stress for another six weeks until late August, early September, and then I will start the project. It is virtually perfect for my application. This should work out very well. Now I am getting excited. Thanks."
oneTree artisan update Scott Gillies
"After having a close encounter with a pod of humpback whales, I was inspired to carve a cow/calf pair of humpbacks from this beautiful salvaged Bigleaf Maple as part of the oneTree Project. Stage One: wood selection, milling, removing rotten wood. Stage Two: carving the whales; video will be coming soon.
