a quick arvo shimp

Post by strawbs »

looking at it now i think the right branch needs to go.
let rip guys and girls always open to some constructive criticism.
cheers

gday mate :D

when i seen the tree getting split, then wire up the length i thought here we go! expecting some gnarly twists and turns, then i see a smooth movement literati :lol: the styling is all good, agree with ya on the right hand branch not needed in the design but keep it for strength for the treee right now, i wouldnt have been to phased about running the wire up the trunk or wrapping with the subtle movement mate, did you seal the split edge?

nice work champ :D

hey Jamie,
yeah i was going to go crazy with some twists and turns,well the wires in there now i might leave the top like it is and compress the f__k out of the trunk,
first try with inner tube much easier than raffia ,might end up doing that if parramatta lose tonite lol.
cheers mate

ahh i thought that might have been the case champ :D :lol: i dont know if the tree wants paramatta to lose or win :P :lol: :lol:

the inner tube is very easy to work with isnt it! i havent used raffia before but i dont see the need with the inner tube so easy :D

look forward to seeing who wins :P :lol:
