For Tyler...

Here is our first attempt at the knitted treehouse. A single piece of 1/2 inch nylon rope, 500 feet long, was used to knit the structure. Two platforms were knitted into the structure to give it shape and to create a sitting area. The base is anchored using eight 16 inch ground anchors, the screw type; the top is tightened with a large ratchet-strap.

Tree Houses!

This summer I completed another custom tree house commission, for Carmel Buckley, Mark Harris, and their son Luke in Cincinnati. The tree was a large beech, about four feet in diameter at the base.



There was a seventeen-year Cicada bloom, which had thousands of these mechanical, vibrating beauties flying all about, and singing a rich, intense hum for days!

Doug. Katy is re-drawing all of his graphics and I am building the
