This is the Tree of Forests. It is a little over 1 foot tall and two feet wide. It is made of
bronze, is nickel plated, and weighs about 200 pounds. It is bolted to a black marble sheet
which rests on a 40" tall column. Inside the tree are two forests. One is higher up toward the
back of the tree. The other is lower down in front. The upper forest has a small lake in the
middle with a stream that comes out the middle. There are two waterfalls in the tree. The first
waterfall pours from the center branch into a pool in the top of the trunk. This pool falls into
the second waterfall into a pool lower in the trunk. The water flows from this lower pool into a
stream which goes through the lower forest into a branch in the back of it. The outside of the
tree has some pictures in the leafy texturing of the tree. The main pictures are dragons. They
are blended in and hard to see in the actual tree, so they are even harder to see in the pictures
below. An oriental dragon is on the side next to the wall. Because of this, I added extra links
to pictures of the tree before it was on the column so that the side with the oriental dragon
can be seen. There is a welsh dragon on the other side. There is also the form of a
feathered serpent in the front. The tree took over a year to make, and there are no molds or
copies.
