From Wimp.com: Artist Giuseppe Penone carefully removes the rings of growth to reveal the "sapling within". By carving out the inside of a tree trunk and leaving the knots in place, they eventually emerge as tiny limbs.

That is really cool...
Besides the work of art, itself, that's pretty amazing, considering all the work involved. Not your typical weekend project! I'd like to see it in person. What would one do for an encore project?

>Very cool, having the vision to see the younger version of the tree again.
The building seem quite amazing too.

So how many did he break saving the ones he did??? :)

Not to mention that I'm sure there is plenty of artistic license involved in the end product, but it does thoroughly tickle the imagination. :)
Not much ... a bit more visible "timber frame" joinery and hog heaven would be achieved. ;)

Hmmm? Artistic license?! I would like to think he did, in fact, carve out the trunk, to reveal the inner small sapling, and not employ "artistic license" in carving out a cavity in the trunk and installing some other sapling into the cavity.
As presented, I'll accept that he did do the carving, as explained.

looks like the way a pine tree rots. The heart and knots are still solid after the sapwood is gone.

Didn't want to burst your balloon, cher! :)
Just like the "French model" in the video, color me a wee bit suspicious of all things being exactly what they seem on the Internet, especially when it's labeled as "art" and then photographed.
I would like to think that is exactly as represented, reserve judgement for a personal inspection, but still nonetheless appreciate the artist' tickling of my imagination.
It needed bursting. I missed your earlier meaning.
After a little searching, seems his work is genuine and accurate as described.

It's good to be here for having many information about woodworking. If I want to learn some tips about woodworking from you, will instruct me?
Just read all the woodworking posts here everyday and you'll find lots of tips. If you have a question, just post it and maybe someone will answer it. If you want a contract, then you can create one by making an offer. Or you could just sign up for a class which is basically the same thing.

You are probably right. We can watch for anisagimran's follow-up!
I did a search on his name and found he is relatively new to alot of related forums. So at least he is enthusiastic! ; )
Cheers, Bill
