There is a wonderful old white cedar tree in Avalon Preserve. A tiny park has been created around it with grass and boulders to sit on. Good spot for meditation.
A red cedar (Sancho Panza) keeps it company.
Part of it is dead and resembles a sculpture by Henry Moore. Why did it grow this way? Was it growing around a boulder at one time? Did another tree fall on it? Did a farmer train the young tree when our country was young? Is this a root or a trunk?
Branches against a blue sky in March.
A quizzical statement endures.
The bark is wonderful.

That is a very nice tree and place. Can you walk there? I just got some old wood from a friend who's barn collapsed, I was thinking the same thoughts, who built the barn, what would he say if he knew it fell over? Sad but maybe I can make something fun out of it now and it had a new life and meaning.
I think it's wonderful that you will be using old wood. Aren't the boards wider than nowadays? I suppose your barn wood was painted, so will you have to strip it?
This preserve is a couple of miles from my home. You have to park and walk a bit to get into the section where the white cedar is. Quite a few people were out walking there yesterday. I took the pictures in mid-March.
Here's some info and maps of the Preserve,
