hi john :D

i will be interested to see the tree when you finish :D have you thought about lowering one of the trunks a little more? i look forward to see how you go about getting them closer together too, looks like a turn buckle will be a little big, what ya could use though is the mini turnbuckles that get used in balustrading for the stainless wires ;)

Nice stock tree John. Can't wait to see the pics after the final placement.

Not sure about the pot though ;)

Impressive work John! Can't wait to see how it finishs up after your drink. Perhaps tomorrow when your sober...? :lol: I know that's the first thing that comes to my mind after a few... BONSAI!! Not a good idea. :lol: :lol: :lol:
