The day started with Joe Morgan-Paler doing the workshop on Junipers, and there was a cracker stock to work with.
I think everyone enjoyed them selves and learnt much from Joe

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

Hi Jason,
It was a great weekend. The workshops were very good. It was great to meet people and put a face to a name.

All very good.
