Wow, I just love the chair and table, I'd love to have a go. The tree people are way too scary for me though!

"The drought had made the plum trees sucker all over the place he had been cutting them out when he realized they were perfect for his new found knowledge. With the three remaining shoots he decided to grow a coffee table, first mirror and garden gate..." Quote from http://www.pooktre.com/about_the_artists.htm
