Too little foliage left on it. I think it was dead before I collected it. Still watering it, but too few green shoots to think it viable as anything other than tanuki material now.

This is now the skeleton for a massive tanuki project I'm working on all year. I'll post some photos when I eventually get to the pointy end, but as folks at BNW know, I'm taking my time to find the best deadwood within this mess, and plan it out.

Shame to hear Shane, but will definatley make for an interesting tanuki project!

My first thought was that you could make a very cool stand out of it if all else fails :)
