Looks Brilliant Gerard.
Hopefully not a rude question - what dimensions is your raft, longest and widest measurements?
I am playing / learning with a couple of rafts myself using an easy learner - Jacaranda. Think i've stuffed mine, meddling too much.
I really love the shape you have created - are you content too with this design?

Very very nice Gerard.

I'd love to see more of "the boat" and no doubt we will over time.
Keep up the good work!

Dimensions are 85cm wide and 45cm high 13 trunks. Originally designed in a workshop with Hirotoshi Saitoh in 2005

Really nice design Gerard, your skills have come a long way. What sort of junipers are they?

It is juniperus squamata, (one tree all root connected)

Very nice Gerard. These are quite rare really. I love them and we should be doing more of them I reckon.
BTW, how is the yatsabusa BP progressing?

I have lost a couple of grafts on the yatsubusa, it is healthy and I expect to go through the same procedure adding more root grafts in the future. It will be ready for exhibition in about 2030.

Ain't that the truth.
