You’re preaching to the choir! I love that tree.

From the photos I’ve seen. This tree is speaking to me the most. Feels like a wonderfully accurate representation of American forests.

Will probably post more pics eventually but here's a start:

I believe this is Suthin's maple. I listened to him talk about the technique, it seems like it was very small carved out sections repeated over many years.I also adore this tree! I truthfully can't tell what it is. I suspect a maple? Nonetheless it's gnarly design is breathtaking, I really have so many questions about this tree and would've loved to ask it's creator about it, I feel like it's very much design choice and not even slightly accidental. I want to ask about the inspiration but also why not attempt to hollow the tree completely.
I don’t know about “backyard”… it was an 8 hour drive for me. Well worth it though.
I think next time I’ll take a flight from Portland or Concord to Rochester. I’ll also stay at the “official” hotel so I can take better advantage of the events held there and also the shuttle going to the main venue. A little more investment over all but I’m all set with the big drive twice in one weekend and carting myself all over the damn place from an off site hotel.
Pretty sure that’s a Carolina anoleA chameleon. They’re all over the place along the SE coast. Extremely nice ficus. Too

That take is hot, because that's a hard no for me dog

It is Suthin's! It was the accent tree to one of his Scots pines. I liked that he took advantage of the fall timing to defoliate it.
I was a little surprised that all three of his displays had cosmic style scarification on them. Three for three cosmic trees in the show from such a respected figure in the scene felt like a big endorsement of cosmic style as a thing

Same thing. Grew up with them on the texas gulf coast. We called them chameleons. “Anole” is a weird word
only Yankees use it

Actually an anole, probably the Green (or Carolina) anole.A chameleon. They’re all over the place along the SE coast. Extremely nice ficus. Too

Yeah. It’s Anolis carolinensis. From the link below.
“It is commonly called chameleon in the southeastern United States and sometimes referred to as the American chameleon”
