Bespoke Treetop Dendritic Mycelium-Infused Phyto-Resonant Sap-Flow Hydrometer — step 1
Step 1

Begin by selecting a block of salvaged burl wood and performing a precision lathe turning to create the central spherical housing. Carefully bore a vertical channel to allow the internal glass pressure-vessel to sit flush within the wood grain.

Step 2

Integrate a network of dehydrated mycelium filaments into the outer dendritic carvings using a natural resin binder. These filaments act as bio-sensors that expand and contract based on the ambient humidity levels of the tree's immediate canopy micro-climate.

Step 3

Construct a set of internal resonance tuning forks made from treated reclaimed copper to bridge the gap between the sap-flow sensors and the outer shell. This ensures the device produces a subtle acoustic feedback loop, allowing occupants to audibly interpret the hydration status of the tree.

Step 4

Finalize the assembly by applying a beeswax finish to protect the dendritic exterior while maintaining the porous integrity required for the device's sensor function. Mount the finished hydrometer to the tree trunk using adjustable tension bands that grow with the tree to ensure long-term stability.
