Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
Psymo, I'm working on the Robert workshop tree over the next couple of days...just wiring out little twiggy branches, no major bending so i'll post up a photo when I'm finished.

Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
well here ya go mate! i hope it comes up to your standards

i used everything you had on the tree, as much as possible, the lower deadwood might need a lirrle bit added to get like that but i think there is enough choice to get something great out of it!
now if only i could find some sort of stock like this but about the height of the stubby that was in the pic

Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
Webos I hope you don`t mind I had a go at a virt on your juni , mate this is a great bit of stock with heaps of potential. The way I have done this v is just one of many options, I think it could also look good with just having a shari on the outside . I did a workshop with Robert in 2006, he is a great guy with a huge amount of knowledge . I will post the tree I did with him it was a juni as well, I have just pruned and rewired it. .... CHEERS ROD....

Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
Rod and Jamie...Brilliant. I love them. I like the canopy on Rods and the Jin/Shari on Jamie's..
I was asked whatever happened to the Juniper I work on with Robert... Well here it is after a little wiring today. Not finished, ran out of wire. Disappears quickly whilst working on a biggun lile this.

Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
I was talking to Boon about this tree yesterday, and he reckons it's too tall. He thinks I should develop the tree from that group of low branches on the right hand side of the tree.
What do you think?

Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
This is an awsome start Webos. It will make some great carving material. I have to ask the question though, the foliage looks like a cypress , Chamycyparis to be exact. Could you clear it up for me? Maybe i need glasses as i get older 
P.S i am talking about the first picture at the beginning of this thread.

Re: Collected Juniper First Styling
Hi Webos,
Looks to me like juniperus sabina, (crushed foliage has an unpleasant smell) can you confirm?
regards Gerard
