Life of a Japanese Box

Post by Chris Di Nola »

Hi All

Here is one of my little gems, collected this guy with 23 of his relative out of a hedge in 2001. I has taken some time to find a pot that im happy with, I think this is the right one. You will notice that my first attempt at carving is a little crappy but it got better.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

I thought that pot looked familiar. Nice tree and a good colour match.

Hi All

Thanks, it took forever to find a nice pot, but when I noticed this one on your table Penny, I knew they where made for each other.

The tree is 30cm tall Aaron, cut down from about 60cm in the hedge & I never do it by hand, the carving that is. ;) :lol:

Cheers
