Dug this monster baby 12 months ago,then put it straight into the ground. Lifted it today & potted it into this large tub for a few years intense training. Thought that the troops out there might like a look at the start of its journey. measures 350mm across the base with a height of 630 mm, about 2:1 ratio, does that make it a sumo? miyagiman.

Awesome Miyagi the pics dont do it justice !!! When you thinking of starting the carving ???

Lovely stump
I hope you had help moving that one, Prunus wood is very heavy!

Probably start pre-carving over the christmas break while I enjoy a coldie in the summer heat. Yes it is a hefty beast, but i'm still silly enough to lug it around by myself.
