The Furniture Farmer | That's Amazing
In the heart of the bucolic county of Derbyshire, England, Gavin Munro tends to a unique crop: furniture. Munro grows completely natural household furnishings by carefully pruning and grafting trees over the course of a decade. Though the process requires patience, the beautiful results are both functional and sustainable.

Just for the record (and forgetting about the spelling) it's not pronounced Durbyshire it's pronounced Darbyshire but spelt Derbyshire. Just telling you that so that if you go there and tell someone from Derbyshire that you 'love it here in Durbyshire' they will probably punch you in the face, funny lot the Derbyshians.
Derby itself, the town, is about twenty miles from Nottingham where Robin Hood's Great, Great, Grandson Burt Hood still with his wife Joyce. Everyone know about Burt and Joyce in Nottinghamshire. If you want to outwit someone from the area tell them that their city was once called Snotingham. You would be right.

#2 It's good to have a sensitive soul, and the trees are kind of forcefully grown in a shape that's very unnatural.
