Winter update, not much happening.... i have 2 design idea's im playing around with in my head. I still need to work on the deadwood.

Im very pleased with the trunk spit at the base.

Today i cut the main leader and wired a new one.

I will post some updated photos tomorrow. This is a rough sketch of one the designs I'm thinking.

Im open to any and all criticism and ideas if you have any?

An easy design to pull off. Now ... let's see you get the tree there.

I like your ideas outside of the norm!

I got a new blow torch so today I played around with burning the deadwood. I still plan to carve more but I wanted to see what it would look like.

The I left branch's lower on the new leader incase I want to use those as leaders in the future.

Some photo's of the base and opposite side.

I'm open to any design suggestions.

I have often played with the idea of chopping this tree much lower.
