Are there plans for him to work less predictable stock where he can show off the heavy bending etc he is famous for?

Hopefully mine

Yes, Pavel will start a Black Pine this morning - the raffia is coming out !!

The first 2 days we asked Pavel to teach Shannon and I his refinement techniques. This is important to us here the the NBPCA, as we don't do an enormous amount of styling to raw material, we simply maintain loan trees, and refine our donated trees.

Yesterday's refinement tutorial went a little like this.....

Here is the beginning of today's black pine....

Shannon is also doing a public demo on trimming....
