Well, it's certainly not a small tree!

This would probably be better for the Shopping & Auctions board though. :)

It would be a good way of amassing lots of tree parts. But the trunk elements seem to have been glued together. All in all, I don't like it. Not my cup of tree.

(I'm not sure posting here will 'archive' it, BTW. Once it is no longer listed on eBay, the pictures will soon disappear. So I also think it might as well stay on this board)
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Wow.... very creative  :love:

I dont't like that it's glued either... but it IS an interesting idea.. (massive amount of those little tree bits used!)

I like the concept. The trunk looks like something out of the Amazon rainforest but the base of the trunk should spread out slightly before going into the ground. The top has obviously been broken off in a storm. It would be nice if geobra did a compatible range of trees in larger sizes. They could be used by kids for dinosaurs or whatever else including playmobil.
