If I were you mate, I'd wait and see what root growth you can get on the other side before you make too many design choices. Nice material!

OC, I didn't think you had any small trees. I guess it makes sense that even your small trees would be big ones!

I really like it, this should make a very powerful shohin.
Cheers, Karl
