Collected last year, this tree was carved this morning as a first step to become a flat top.

Another great specimen. Maybe I missed it, but how is the base?

It is a BIG tree. I haven't measured it yet but probably 8-10" trunk at the base.

Changed my mind and cut off half of a flat top.

Carved a top to simulate a slashing break that sometime occurs when a big tree falls over a smaller tree and breaks the top of the smaller tree.
