Title: The Undead Tree of Charles Ray

What drew me into this this article was that I couldn't really tell if the tree was real or plastic. It looked very interesting, and I wanted to be able to find out what it was.
This article discusses a recreation of the Redwood tree Hinoki. It is about 38 ft long and weighs almost 2,100 pounds! It is so big, that they actually had to build the room around the work.
I am really interested in learning more about this particular piece because my Aunt and Grandmother just returned from a trip to California where they went and toured the Redwood Forests. They said it was one of the coolest things they had ever seen and that the trees were absolutely huge.
