                     Some people like to grow fruit,other  prefer to focus on vegetables, but there is this gentle man called Gavin Munro from England ,fully  grown ,he stumbled upon different types  of  trees and  make the trees to resembled a chair ,so he was then called the founder of Derby shire, which is in England .This was an act of creativity. As young  as he at that time ,he started morphing trees into furniture, but it took him several years to accomplished his dream,not until 25years, but  with this in his mind he never give up.

         To make the trees to grow into a chair ,he has to shape and bends the young trees or branches using a custom made plastic mold.So for every 50 chairs that he has to make,he uses 1,000 branches  of young trees, in addition to 10,000 shoots that he will pruned,so that he will come out with healthy and right form of tree.Once the desired  and shape has come up Munro will continue  to monitor  the progress of the tree until it is ready and mature to cut for used.

        They harvest  this chair during  Winter  and then keep it to dry for a few months,this will make  the  furniture to look smoothly  and it expose the chair to it distinct shape,so that the furniture will look good and comfortable. The cutting  down of branches to make  furniture  is really environmentally  friendly.Another country who produces stool by placing rocks into chair is the Chinese  people . However Munro also grow small objects like lamp shades,mirror  frames and side tables all this  will help decorate homes .He uses trees like Ash,Sycamore, Hazel,Sessile,Crabapple, Oak and Red Oak for the furniture, and he does this by not cutting  chopping or sending the trees  to mill,he does it will his hands.He  made alot of money in this,but it seems expensive, because  of all this it takes five to eight years for each unique  master piece to grow and come out well.
