Square Tree Trunk series are a part of NATURE V2.01 project.

¡®Round¡¯ is perfect in nature, but ¡®square¡¯ is perfect for industrial standard.

To illustrate, square tree would enable wood industry to lose less material,

to cut easier with machines and to store more efficiently.

 

One sawmiller said, ¡°I wish trees were growing square.

Things people make with woods are square anyway, and we need to lose a lot by cutting out the rounded part.¡±

Likewise, same ¡®tree¡¯ can be seen as a symbol of nature, or inefficient material for ¡¯wood¡¯ industry.

Would we actually get surprised by looking at square trees someday??
