Upon approaching this agave I new I had a duty to have it live on as a didgeridoo. This one never got to fully shoot up its flower as some natural force decided to twist and break the stalk before ever being able to spread its seeds, after a lifetime of living for that sole purpose. It is hard to know how many years it took this agave to become the size it did. As you can see this has such amazing pigments throughout and you can see the evidence of the break with the twists in the wood grain. This one also attracted a ton of bug activity and there are so many turquoise inlays throughout. It takes so little breath and is incredibly responsive. Strong overtones and vocal ability and such a peaceful drone. I felt a special connection thinking of its path and helping it live on in a different way and can’t wait to see where it ends up!
