Here are some pics of a demo I did a couple of years back at Floriade.
Before
Front After
Back After
Once I get my camera back from the Mother In-Law (who just went off fishing for a week!) I will get a new pic of how it is now!
Cheers,
Leigh.

Re: Dug up an old demo!
Thats very impressive Leigh. It is a great example of how moving branches can make a tree look older. 
I happened to do my first demonstation today with a friend for the local Garden club. There must have been about 35 people there. It was a blast and we got paid petrol money.

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: Dug up an old demo!
WOAH! 
I love what you did with that. . . . . ummm. . . . uh. . . . . what is it?
I find that seeing demonstrations like this always makes me realize just how much my artistic skills are lacking. Cant wait until i can achieve results like this. Your skills amaze me.
Thanks for upping the demo!
