Yes, i like it a lot to Ant. Wondering if that top branch would make a better leader though

Good carving job

This last one was collected last year and there for now its time to reduce the root mass. There is one really thick one that will have to stay the rest can pretty much go. Ash are very vigorous in the root department so there is enough fibre left behind to power on. All in all thats a good reduction so the tree will throw new roots higher in the next year and hopefully we can reduce further to get into a bonsai pot.
