Welcome To Arborsmith StudiosThis is the place where trees are planted, shaped and grafted to become art, architecture and furniture.By Arborsculptor Richard Charles
Reames.
Red Alder chair and glass table ready for planting.Arborsculpture: Trunks of living trees shaped into useful and artistic forms.My designs include chairs, tables, benches, entrance arches, houses, mazes, symbols, letters, fences and ladders. I also design trees to hold and slowly swallow stained glass, bird cages, crystals, statues and fountains.By planting, framing, bending, and grafting various parts of trees together I have been able to grow a variety of shapes and structures. All growing taller and thicker every year, as long as they live. Kinetic sculpture, really.These outdoor sculptures make wonderful landscape additions.Be different. Be unusual. Be creative. Be unique. Be one of the first to have a "Reames tree" growing in your landscape. Be daring. Be radical. Be on my planting calender now. Call me.(541) 846-7188
