Very good stock mate. It is a good idea to now let it grow on a bit, with plenty of fertilizer and TLC.

I'd bind it with raffia/jute webbing, wire the heck out of it, then compress it further back into itself with more curves.
Could be a very nice lil' shonin not to far into the future. :)

Great piece of stock. :tu:
