The Tree
Spirit Flutes
Long Ago My Grandfather gifted
me the Knowledge of the Flute.
How to find a branch of strong spirit, How to remove the heart of the Branch.
He told me how when a flute is made the player of that flute
breathes his heart into the Branch to become and join with the heart
and spirit of the tree. The Tree sings what is in you're Heart.
My flutes are always made from the branch or trunk of a single
Tree to honor the spirit of that tree.
The Trees that gift me their wood are from Northern Colorado a place
rich
in Native American History.
I am not a full time flute maker, though I have 3 decades of experience.
These flutes are crafted in the Colorado Rockies at my home
in Cherokee Park next to the heat of a pot belly stove, and
are made out my love of the Instrument,
My dedication to preserve the knowledge I have been gifted,
and to Honor the memory of my Forefathers and the
Trees whose spirit resides within.

Over the years when when my
Family has had a Real Christmas Tree I always save it to be reborn as
flutes, This is one of those trees.

This Flute was Made using a "Natural Construction Method" which means I
followed all the natural curves of the Branch in its construction. Weather Checks and worm
holes are stabilized and inlaid with Aventurine to form Designs drawn by the tree
its self and sometimes I add a little to make native symbols appear.

flute is also made in the old ways as far sound hole construction and Tuning, Giving each instrument its own unique character and

Metaphysical Properties of the Aventurine Inlay
Aventurine seems to enable abundance and brings good luck , joy, balance and clarity. Universal love, truth and prosperity are traits we can gain by working with Aventurine. Spiritually, Aventurine protects the heart, enhances creativity and working with spirit guides. Green is the color of healing and Aventurine, as a member of the quartz family, has a concentrated ability to dissolve emotional blockage. It's a particularly effective crystal for emotional healing.
