This print belongs to a series of small prints. Most depict the cones of different tree species common in Nova Scotia, however a few instead depict some of my father’s logging tools and equipment. 
As an adult, I’ve come to think of the woods as a place of recreation, away from my home and work life. But as a child the woods were my backyard, as well as the place where my dad went to work. The greasy tools in the garage seemed just as much a part of the woods to me as the pinecones I gathered for my 4-H project.
