Re: Chinese Elm
John, could you put up a couple more pics from different angles of that elm, it looks very complex from the view shown.

Re: Chinese Elm
Gday john,
Nice looking tree there mate, i like the carving as it is something that i have been trying out myself these days. Mate my suggestion to you is put the tree in a smaller pot and maybe something green, i think some times people see a pot and like it and then buy it with out picturing it with the tree in it, not saying you have done this, remember that the focus should be on the tree and the time and effort that goes into it not the pot.
OK, green only becuase elms look quite nice in green.
This is only my suggestion.
cheers molty.

Re: Chinese Elm
Nice elm mate. That's one heck of a hollow in the middle of what looks like a fairly fat trunk.
