Grow your own furniture

[Linked Image from makezine.com]

"You can grow a stool or a table frame like these. Fruit growers have been training trees to shape since we don't know when, and furniture has been made of wood for thousands of years, so why not train trees to make furniture? I've proved that it can be done. All you need are three saplings, a plywood jig, instructions and a little patience..."

Andy that is a crazy, cool, unique stool! Now that really should go on Ebay to pay for your INFI mudder! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

it'd be cool if somehow it were still live.. and if damaged could self-repair itself.

hmm.. that sounds kinda creepy actually..
