Gavin Munro, I can't imagine how you managed to begin these chairs in the first place! You have to be able to "see" upside down, reverse the entire chair structure while dealing with the upright, natural growth pattern of the tree. I have vertigo and it causes my head to swim, which makes this artistic convolution even more unimaginable. I'm so happy to see such work. I'm also an artist AND an environmentalist which puts me at isometrics with myself. I see value in the tree as well as the creation of the useful and artistic chair. Thank you for posting this video. I hope you'll keep it up a long time as I want to view it at length. I'm sure it's easy to miss a convolution here and a "twisty-thing" there. The chairs have a humorous quality as well as smooth beauty. :0) Donna B.

Những chiếc ghế độc đáo, thân thiện với thiên nhiên! Chỉ tiếc là thời gian tạo ra một chiếc ghế hơi lâu!! Cả một quá trình dài! Tôi yêu thích các sản phẩm từ tự nhiên! Không gây hại môi trường!!
