Grant after lunch Grant got stuck into some heavy bending of a Red pine and Juniper.

The pine was raffia'd, wired and twisted into a literati style, and the Juniper was the same but the trunk was split as well, A couple of nice helpers got stuck in too and everyone learnt heaps and enjoyed them selves as well

Top stuff Grant :yes:
