I made mine from a huge piece of oak. The weight of it is incredible. The oak I used was part of a tree that had to be removed due to age/poor condition, so the fact that I made it into something is much, much better than it being either burnt as firewood or chucked into landfill ! They aren't really meant to be comfortable but they look amazing I am a wood sculptor and I have just made one of these – looks very similar. I made mine from a huge piece of oak.

How big are the trees planks are made from, what do you think? Or should we ban all wooden structures and simply make everything from plastic? People are planting those trees, you know... it's not like you go into the Amazon forest and cut one because you want to sit on something... wake up, people, environmentalists are messing with your heads. Beautiful piece of art though... Green, not green, waste of a tree…?! How big are the trees planks are made from, what do you think?

It is kind of a shame it's not green but I think it works best like this, furthermore it's guaranteed to last a life time. Could I have one made to order?
