Re: big juniper
Pic 021 is the front you choose? I think the left hand side is perfect and will fill out perfectly. The right hand side is too heavy. Too much foilage and the branches don't have the same pitch/angle as the left. If you sort those little things it'll be a great tree.

Re: big juniper

Re: big juniper
This is a style that I would like to get a grasp of but can't say I have yet 
I need to learn this for my Grape.
I would say that Jin is an issue. Looking at the tree you have for inspiration there is great movement down low which seems to set it up for the slanting style.
I think I like the movement in the trunk in the frame Dayne has selected. I would also consider the oposite of this as a front. It looks like the base is slightly better there and the movement should be very similar although it is hard to see hidden behind the foliage at the moment.

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.

Re: big juniper
G`day Dayne mate I had a go at a virt of your juni, I think the tree could look good being tilted to the left . The reason I would do this is to accentuate the movement in that direction. I have also added a spiralling shari which I think, would take the heaviness from the top right section of trunk. CHEERS ROD...........

Re: big juniper
heres a few i have found, might be a bit deep, more freeforms than drums, have to find the right shots and resize them to suit etc. etc.
i think this one is a bit deep...
and i thought the cresent might be a bit different
sorry if they are a bit rough, bub was having trouble with her teeth and i was getting called away every couple of minutes while i was trying to do them.

Re: big juniper
WELL DONE JAMIE!!! Mate I like the drum pot as well , I also like the one with the Pat Kennedy feel, ( the top one ). I think for this tree to go into a shell it would have to be potted on more of an angle.
