Giuseppe Penone

Found this artist that likes to work with nature. And a video with some rigging as a bonus. He carves out the sapplings from big trees and other neat tree art.

Thanks for posting this Boreality.

Makes me think that inside of every old man and woman, there's a child that still lives somewhere deep inside them.

It looks like he does some whole tree casting as well.

What a great find!

Several years ago there was a discussion about using scaffolding to do a removal of a very dead tree, one that wouldn't stand shock loading. The idea was scoffed at by a faction of climbers. It seems to have merit for the museum workers!

When I get the chance I will on smaller weed tree removals
leave the stump 3 or 4 feet high and rip a 1/3 out of it and then notch the top to accept the the ripped out piece.


So far they allways say they love it and the suprise that the weed growing out of the back fence line can still be enjoyed.

Thanks for posting. Planting seeds of wood art is cool!
It would be a much more interesting job and world if we could bill this into a removal.
