Bending young trees and keeping them in place mechanically to make them grow into interesting or useful shapes is quite viable, probably not to make an armchair

Bending young trees and keeping them in place mechanically to make them grow into interesting or useful shapes is quite viable, probably not to make an armchair but possibly pieces for constructing one, or something simple, like a one-piece walking stick.

Except that it's not had its growth manipulated, either by tropins or mechanical means (it was coppiced though). https://www.emilyhannah.co.uk/wooden-walking-sticks/knob-sticks#!/hazel-knob-stick-medium-stout https://www.emilyhannah.co.uk/wooden-walking-sticks/knob-sti...
