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.
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

So the Redwood turns to the Bonsai and says "Lend me a Tenner"......
