Devastating Texas Tornado Creates a Natural Masterpiece
Twenty-eight years ago a tornado that moved through Comfort, Texas ripped a giant live oak tree from the ground, roots and all. The "Tornado Seed" sat as a huge clump of dirt until a few years ago when John and his partner Kate decided to investigate.
Austin TX (PRWEB) May 21, 2004 -- Now exclusively for auction on eBay, this natural piece of art is being presented by auctioneer Donald Peters of IwillSELLyourSTUFF.com. Known for selling unusual items like Airplane Homes, Islands, Missile Silos, this addition is no less unique.
Twenty-eight years ago a tornado that moved through Comfort, Texas ripped a giant live oak tree from the ground, roots and all.
The Tornado Seed sat as a huge clump of dirt until a few years ago when John and his partner Kate decided to investigate. With a crowbar they were able to break some of the dirt away and realized that the dirt clod was really a giant root structure. They used a crane to move the structure to a suitable place to work on it. After 2.5 years of dirt removal, triple sand blasting, sanding and the application of a polyurethane coat, Tornado Seed was created.
The twisted root structure has many faces to it - viewers are able to find horses, human faces, a wizard, birds, Scream and many more strange designs throughout.
It is permanently mounted on a steel structure to give the work of art stability.
Visit eBay today and search under Tornado Seed to find this unusual piece of art.
