Growing chairs

Amazing creativity from John Krubsack back in the early 1900’s. The story:

After planting 32 box elder trees in his back yard. Krusback began to grafting and bending the tree stems and branches of the trees into the shape of a chair. After 11 years, every joint in the chair was strong, or as Krubsack said, “cemented by nature.” The chair was ready to be harvested
