Young Talent at Tops Illawarra

Post by Pup »

As many of you know I was one of the visiting Tutors at tops last weekend. Conducting workshops and doing the Demonstration on Saturday evening.
I met some wonderful people, and I saw some burgeoning young talent.

When I conduct workshops I like to get some information from the Student. Such as what ideas you have for this tree and will they suit the tree.
This young man had a few as did I. My attitude was I will be heading back to WA on Sunday.
So the students have to be happy and able to manage the tree from now on and put there mark on it. So it becomes there tree, not mine.

I have been waiting for Sean to post this tree, I unfortunately did not take a before, so if you are reading this Sean please do put one up.

The tree is a JBP it had a lot of option and some glaring faults, but between us we came up with a tree, that in Sean's capable hands will be one of the best in NSW.

If not Australia. I did hear that Ray wanted to buy it back :) So here are some pics not the best, but we were there to work on tree's.Cheers :D Pup I have mixed the pics up I did not [post the first one first probably still fuzzy from Saturday night.

That is going to be a corker of a JBP in a few short years :-)
