Hi guys
I picked up a cheap Larch at the BNW sale and was wondering if i could get any tips.
At the moment, it's fairly thin and is very flexible. It's a bit straight and i'll take some photos of it tomorrow. If anyone has any designs they'd like to see attempted (albeit by a novice), feel free to post them. I'm willing to try any radical bends with this thing as this was just a minor investment.
Any ideas?

Re: Literati Larch
Thanks Jamie
I will do, that's PERFECT because it's after exams and i have a month long wait before my flight out for christmas.
It's a fairly bland looking thing so yeah, it'll be good for the contest. I'll post here anyway if people want to have a look. is that allowed...?

Re: Literati Larch
We can start work on the literati contest trees as soon as a few days. Starts the new month although entries will be taken upto a month later I think for late starters.
Edit: Yes mate posting a tree anywhere before the start is encouraged but we are asking for work to only start after the begining of November as a start date.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
