Methods from the different artists pages
John Krubsack
John Krubsack's chair was created by shaping trees while they were growing. [15] In 1903 he was the first to do tree shaping in the United States. [16]
John Krubsck's chair was harvested in 1914. A year later is displayed at the International Exposition Panama-pacific World's fair 1915. Robert Ripley featured the horticultural chair in his syndicated newspaper column titled believe it or not. John Krubsack was offered $5000 for his chair. He chose instead to keep the chair and put it on display at Noritage Furniture [17]
The chair spent many years inside a display case of Noritage Furniture. Once the company was closed down, the chair was retained by Dennis Krubsack who prefers to not be contacted. [18]
Dan Ladd
He shapes and grafts trees, including their fruits and their roots, into architectural and geometric forms.[19] Ladd calls human-initiated inosculation 'pleaching' and calls his own work 'tree sculpture'.[19] Ladd binds a variety of objects to trees, for live wood to grow around and be incorporated, including teacups, bicycle wheels, headstones, steel spheres, water piping, and electrical conduit.[19] He guides roots into shapes, such as stairs, using above-ground wooden and concrete forms and even shapes woody, hard-shelled Lagenaria gourds by allowing them to grow into detailed molds.[20]
Peter Cook and Becky Northey
Their methods involve guiding a tree's growth along predetermined wired design pathways over a period of time.[21][22]
Richard Reames
He bends living trees using the arborsculpture process developed by himself. He also uses the horticultural and arboricultural techniques of ring barking, approach grafting, pruning, and framing, in various combinations, to craft functional items and artworks.[23][24]
In 2005 Reames published his book Arborsculpture: Solutions for a Small Planet, which talks about the history, some of the different practitioners in the field of Tree shaping and Reames's method of shaping trees into a chair.[23][25]
Reames gives live demonstrations of bending and weaving a chair at garden shows, fairs and folk art festivals around America.[26] and has lectured internationally on his process of arborsculpture.[27][28][29]
Christopher Cattle
In order to grow his stools, Christopher Cattle gradually shapes trees using a variety of horticultural, arboricultural, and artistic techniques. His first planting of saplings destined to become stools was in 1996.[30] At that point he created his wooden jig as a framework for the saplings. He then intended to regrow more examples using the same design, to find out what the results would be.[31]
Gavin Munro/Full Grown
The trees are trained along pre-defined routes following a blue plastic mold. The growing tip is shaped and held in place with small plastic clasps. [32] The trees are gently manipulated to create the exact shape of chairs, tables, mirror frames or lamps. You can't force the trees as a tortured branch dies back and will reshoot elsewhere. The shaping can be inch-by-inch over the span of a few years.[33] One tree has been planted specifically to grow each piece. Some of the pieces use grafting as part of the design.[32] This process of growing the piece take somewhere between 4–8 years.[34] [34] [35] During this time a piece thickens and matures before being harvesting in the winter. Once seasoned the pieces are cleaned back and finished off to show the wood grain.[36]
