Building a tree.

This is a diorama built into a large home over looking Lake Tahoe. We not only built the trees but also the boulders to form an interior water scape. There is also a hot tub and dressing area.

Thank you .

As a carpenter on this house, I had the privilege of working in this same room (fly on the wall) at various points while Dan and Carol built this project. Watching this simply jaw dropping creation grow from blue foam and gray muck into a masterpiece was such a treat. I can say from personal experience, that even standing two feet away, it looks impossibly realistic. Simply Amazing. Thanks Dan for posting this, made my day.

Thanks John, Good to hear from you, Dan

Excellent work, very creative. I imagine all the styrofoam was quite expensive. Will the rocks, etc. be weight bearing?

[37ordanic]

Thanks, The foam is expensive but less labor and weight then re-bar and metal lath armatures. Plus the foam gives you more sculpture freedom.

The finished rocks are very strong and can support substantial weight. However here we embedded a steel structure to ensure a worry free installation and long term dependability.
