Faux Bois Concrete Table

Is creating "faux bois" or fake wood out of concrete environmentally friendly? I'm not sure. On the one hand no trees are being cut down, but on the other we're adding something that's not very biodegradable to the environment. Nonetheless, I liked the idea and this table from Texas based artist Donald Tucker is wonderful.
