Bougianvillea carving

[Magzy]

Here is a bougie i have been working on. my first aim was to have three trees that look like they are on a rock or cliff but now i will see how it looks when i start working on the branch structure and get more into place. More carving will be done next year but for now i will let it rest and grow, but i will need to watch the thickness of the three bases so i dont get any reverse going on. Still got a long way to go with it and i'm hoping it will turn into something good.

That's a very interesting trunk Magzy. I'm sure it will turn into something good.

I would love to see it in the bark

Nice looking tree Magzy
Are you using any wood hardener to preserve it?
I use Earls wood hardener on my Boughies as the wood rots real easy

Thanks guys, got it almost covered in flowers just after those pics. Have started to set some branches with wire but it grows that fast at moment. Only lime was used when photo's taken but i treated it with earls hardener since then. Carving needs to be taken a lot further than what it is now to get it looking more natural. After setting a few branches i've been able to see how i want it to look, i think
