Or you could make stools from stumps of a cut up log. This seems more efficient and you get multiples per tree.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe they can mass-produce with bamboo.
The rapid growth might actually make bamboo harder to train than trees are.
Our budget is $2.9M. Next on HGTV!
Our budget is $2.9M and 20 years. We hope to send Kaiylleigh and Brngn to college with their own custom grown chairs.
Where does Brngn end and the chair begin?
“Bret is a part time carpenter and Donna sells dog collar charms on Etsy.”

This is actually a thing. The chairs don’t grow fast enough to supply demand.
Those are actually beautiful. Would sell like hotcakes during the Art Nouveau period I bet.
I love the concept but I’m wary of the actual results. And if LV is using it for store displays, probably beyond my means.
I’d go for a dining set if I could.
A bronze cast of one of their chairs will appear at this month's RHS Chelsea Flower Show
There’s irony in that.
What do you mean "wary of the results"? Why?
Maybe wary isn’t the word. The concept is nice but the execution looks like it needs work.
