Cool looking dead wood, I think it would look great when finished if you let the tree grow taller allowing the outside facing foliage to grow dense, giving it the appearance of a twin trunk tree that had one of its trunks die back.

Keep showing us all this good stuff of yours Sam, and we gonna get jelous.

bill, mike. thanks.
the plan is to style a kengai tree with deep sweeping branches hanging over the abyss.

best wishes, sam

Sam, have you used a preservative on the dead wood, or is it a photo thing, it; looks a bit glossy??

 

[sam]

hello bill

I'd just re-oiled the trunk before the picture. by now the wood has absorbed the oil and the trunk retains the beautiful color without the shine.

best wishes, sam
