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.

Jamie, I wont be doing any carving for a long while on this one. So use your imagination...come up with something amazing!!

i will try mate! let me get back to you with it.


jamie

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


jamie

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....

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.

That's going to be a great tree Webos , you certainly have some great stock to work with ........well done ROD...

to right that is a great tree! you have got some sweet access to some awesome material webos!

and that tree you posted of yours rod i still could just look at it for hours on end, as good as it looks in the pic i cannot say how much better it looks in real life!


jamie

This is the before pic of that last tree

Man, you guys got me...envy

straight out DK, as i said before i need to figure out how to shrink this sort of stock down to less that 40cm tall


jamie

Absolutely awesome

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?

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.

Hi Webos,
Looks to me like juniperus sabina, (crushed foliage has an unpleasant smell) can you confirm?
