Re: Chop chop goes another olive
nice work olive.
for me its very much achieving the impression of size. I imagined a much larger tree until seeing you next to it.
look forward to its development.
Cheers,
Ces.

Re: Chop chop goes another olive
That is some amazing development in one year!
Looking really good, and once it settles into life in a pot with a touch more refinement, that will be a show stopper. This thread more than any other makes me want an olive!

Re: Chop chop goes another olive
Dont you think You need to thicken that right branch and that is done better in the ground?
I love your olive.
What are your plans of styling for it?

Re: Chop chop goes another olive
Coming on very nicely mate. Good work
Carving will make a very nice development for this tree. You have some really nice flow lines in the dead wood that should be your guide mate. They will give the tree more movement and complete your design if you highlight them. Don't think you will need the left branch quite so long after the carving is done.
Looking forward to watching this tree.

Re: Chop chop goes another olive
I have one very similar tree. Do You have a virtual? I think if You try to make an occasional part of some the branches on the left go infront of the trunk it might look nice????
