How would you like to grow a Chair?

Or how about a PLAY GROUND!
Maybe a nice relaxing place away from the rat race!

This is Arthur Wiechula, a tree shaper from 1919
See a sample of his work on my side bar.

I did not know Lil was from out of space??

I like the tree ideas. However, I don't think I will live long enough to grow a chair.

Hi this is Becky from Pooktre, the first group of photos are our shaped trees. :-)
The photo on your side bar was shaped by John Krubsack in 1908.
For more information on the different art forms of tree shaping go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping

Happy Growing

At the apartment complex we lived in the kids would go on walks and play on the "jungle gym" tree. It wasn't shaped but it was knocked weird by a storm and had a slight bounce to a very long almost horizontal trunk. They loved it!

Love your sidebar photos. Good to see cousins playing together.
