Hey guy's here is a progress shot of the second swampy that is no this thread.
I attacked it with a blow torch a few weeks ago.
What's your ideas??

Thats a good article and the technique would definately work well. The one thing that surprised me was they were waiting for the wood to rot. I have found the wood resisitant to rot; although from memory Vaughan Banting is fromNew Orleans Louisiana where there is lots of humidity ,where both the Swampies and gators grow big.

This technique is definitely on the cards for the big one.

Cheers Grant.

hey shan, i know the plans for this tree and it will look great once extended, unless you have planned on changing to keep the apex a little lower?

if so i would think about bringing that carved tip down a bit smaller creating a little more space, but i would like to see the tree fill out more as it may not be necessary

i love the carving of this tree, you gotta get a close up of the details mate
