Hi Anthony,
You have to be* first and foremost commended on taking this to the next level, all while retaining the original artists goal. This is a cracker mate. Evokes many feelings this tree and you have done a great job thus far and it can only get better in your care, over time.
Cheers

Hi Anthony,
I think it is important, retaining the tree's bones, while also elevating the tree to the next level. As you eloquently put, taking it back to its former glory...
I think we can be all guilty of getting a great bit of material and be in a rush to put our own mark on it, while losing so much.
Restraint isn't a bad thing.
Respect mate.
Cheers

Re: PJF - 30 years plus
You are very correct Dave my boundaries were already set with this tree, the structure/bones already established I really could and can only hopefully enhance its beauty, hard to explain to others sometimes, but you get it, ...cheers Dave...nice!
