Tree People

Man figure sculpture shaped from living treeGrowing your own furniture is amazing enough, but the Pooktre Tree Shapers are taking the concept of living tree art to an Entish new level…

In 1986 Peter had the idea of growing a chair. Nine years later Peter & Becky became partners…. Together they have mastered the art they call Pooktre, which is the shaping of trees as they grow in predetermined designs. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor furniture and others will remain living art.

Photos and videos of their amazing tree-shaped works are at Pooktre.com, along with the on-going story of the couple’s adventures with their artistic trees.

This reminds me of the Blair Witch Project. Think I can grow them in time for Halloween? ;)
