Hey, thanks for sharing that site about [url=https://www.pooktre.com]Pooktre[/url]. That's pretty mindblowing how they're growing furniture as well as living outdoor sculptures from trees. Here's an article in Wikipedia about [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arborsculpture]Arbor Sculpture[/url], including a photo of someone who did it in 1903.

And check out this living sculpture:

Wow, wow, wow! I'm going right back to the site to surf around, but this is REALLY cool! I had an idea -- wouldn't it be precious to do this in a "miniature" -- chairs, and a table, a cottage-like structure -- like a "fairy abode"?

JTred,

Thanks for introducing me to this. I found the chair to be particularly interesting.

Hi this is Becky form Pooktre
Thank you.
Arborsculpture relates to Richard Reames's method of shaping trees.
At Wikipedia there was a consensus that a neutral name was needed for the artform, and Tree shaping was decided upon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping
@webmaster the link you give is now redirected to Tree shaping on wikipedia

Thanks for popping in. I don't ordinarily allow members to promote their site in a post, however yours is a good site with lots of great information and I'll make an exception to the rule.

You may want to move the navigation to the left as that's where site visitors expect to see it, and it might make the drop down menu easier to use. Currently the drop down is really huge and makes navigating a little difficult because I kept jumping off the drop down, resulting in the drop down disappearing.

There is no need to hide information on this page, or any of the other pages in which this javasscript is deployed. It's an accepted and expected convention that we'll have to scroll down for more information. It's not a convention that we would have to click on a gray bar in order to view hidden content there. I suggest getting rid of the script that hides the content, which will improve the user experience and make the site information easier to view without clicking and seeing stuff jump around the page and get hidden, plus removing the script will cause the site to become faster to load.

Thanks for your comments and insight.
