Re: Pine for workshop
G'day Andrew - how are you?
I have a backlog of photo requests! I am still trying to photo some fat shohin scots pine stock! Picked up a new tripod today - should make things easier! The other 2 Jacks are bigger than Grant's - I will try and get a pic shortly.
Post a pic of that tree you got from me that your wife nearly killed you over!

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Pine for workshop
She still talks about that. It currently has a frog living in the hollow, doesn't seem to be hurting it, and I get free pelletised fertiliser. As soon as I can I will get a photo for you.

Re: Pine for workshop
Hi Brett - I think you might be 1 of a few waiting for me to send pics of stuff. Which hornbeam is it?
(Sorry to you, and all the others waiting! Just remind me!)

Re: Pine for workshop
Hi Andrew - I had a frog living in a silver birch for ages, I loved seeing his little eyes popping out of the hollow! Frogs are great!
Cheers,
Leigh.

Re: Pine for workshop
OK,
Now back to this Pine.
This is the original front when leigh bought the tree.
I can understand this side as the front but I find it a bit boring.
Opinions please.

Re: Pine for workshop
There is an obvious cut off point if this side continues to be the front.
Comments welcome

Re: Pine for workshop
However,
If we cut it off at this point we are left with a shorter, more compact but still boring tree.
From this angle it would lose any sense of a possible airy Bunjin.
Comments?
Other suggestions or ideas?
I really haven't made my mind up as to what to do with this tree.

Re: Pine for workshop
The most noticeable feature of the tree is that pin-up grace of the trunk, and however far you shorten it, it won't go away, since the branching starts so high up. What I would do is buy the two other Jack pines that Leigh has left P.D.Q. and see if you can make an interesting group of 3 out of them. (Not very useful, hey?)
