Hi there Sean, great use of the material and judging by the update pics, clearly a very well looked after Shimpaku. I look forward to seeing what is next.

Cheers,
Mojo

Thanks Mojo and Bodhi.
It's getting a good watering tonight along with my tools which I forgot were out. :palm:
I've learnt a lot more about how much these bend when the proper tools are applied. Having someone who knows what they are doing helps too :tu:
So the Redwood turns to the Bonsai and says "Lend me a Tenner"......
