Living furniture -- you have to see it to believe it

I've heard of chopping down trees and then make furniture out of them, but never making furniture of them before chopping them down. But Peter Cook and Becky Northey in Australia have done just that. They're making furniture like chairs and mirrors, and even crafting sculptures by training their trees to grow into people shapes and other forms. I wonder if they serve as scarecrows.

They've called the practice Pooktre. It's among the most creative thing I've ever seen. So cool. You have to check it out.
