Arborsmith Studios

Self-titled arborsculptor Richard Reames grows and shapes tree trunks using the ancient arts of grafting, framing, bending and pruning. Reames believes that his living arborsculptures can replace many of the things that trees are typically killed to make.

Gazebos, tables, chairs, spiral staircases, benches, entrance arches, bridges, and fences represent just a small portion of Reames's imaginative vision of a world built entirely of living trees. He is currently growing a living tree house 15 feet off the ground. He has spelled out love in apple trees. Author of two books on the subject, Reames teaches and lectures worldwide.

Richard the proprietor of Arborsmith Studios gives guided tours showing visitors the trees and describing the techniques he uses to create living sculptures out of trees. By appointment only.
