Tree Simulation by Austin Cerny, Saint

INSTRUCTIONS: Simulate a tree by taking disparate pieces of wood and bark and assembling them. Very many extra points if your tree simulates actual tree functions as well.

This is probably my last task before the score cut, so I was kind of rushed, but I still think that I did a good job. To replicate a tree, I decided that some old boards would be perfect for the trunk. I felt that since no one was using them, what better way to recycle a board than turning it into a tree. To do this, I chose my favorite adhesive, duck tape. I "transplanted" branches from the willow in my front yard by taping them to the board. Once it looked like a very rectangular tree, I took it and planted it in a nice spot under the willow. The fact that it is taped together though probably makes it an annual tree.
Oh, and though Cerny didn't really do much to help, he was there, and he did prove as an outstanding peanut gallery, as he ate three donuts, and drank a quart of chocolate milk, what a fatty!

The tree to be

This is the board I used, it is about four and a half feet long, and fairly old, but not rotten.

Supplies

Some dead, and fresh branches from the willow.

Working...with tape

once again I am using my "mouth cam" (me basically biting my camera)

Final product

the fact that it is in front of the clean n green container is just a coincidence.

Under the willow...

thats my willow tree, the spot i chose is to the left, under the big branch there.

Placement is key!

Just a close up pic of the area where the tree went.

Digging a hole

Again with my awesome camera biting skills. It was hard not hitting willow roots while digging.

A last look

Just a last look at the tree.

Final resting place

And so another tree graces my yard with it's presence. (I don't know if I'd really consider that a part of my yard though)
