So that you are not confused with the title I though to start a new thread with tree from the workshops and his Sunday demo. A lot of the workshop participants got a shock. Some even brought in two trees think this wont take long.
Well one spent the first hour cleaning out,and he was not the only one. Then when they thought they were going along fine!! take that of and do it right, wire is most important.

It was a pleasure to see some of the members brought back to reality. Enough of my ramble here are some work shop trees.

It really is so important that effective wiring is reinforced. I'm please that Mauro cajoled and humoured us all to wire well.

It takes less time and less wire to wire a tree correctly. It is one of those idioms where 'near enough is nit good enough'!

A huge learning step for many!

These are some of the Saturday workshops, some took off before I got the finshed trees. Here is what I did get. Then Sundays.

Continuation of more from Mauro.

Page 3 of more from Mauro. Sundays Demonstration. Another juniper just a different approach. Thats it folks I hope you enjoy these as much as we did.

Cheers Pup

Nice pics!
At a glance unknown tree looks like Cork Oak.
Cheers, Dario.

Hi Pup,

Thanks again for posting up these photos.

Cheers

Thanks Derek for taking te time to take the photos ad post them. A fantastic journal of Mauro's last day on this tour.


I hope that I speak for others in hoping he is back in Astralia to work more with us sooner, rather than later!

Looks like I did miss a great part of his demo! That second tree looks amazing, as do those workshop trees!

Well it was enough to get me to bite the bullet and sign up to BSWA, really enjoyed myself while I was there.

And the new camera is turning up a treat Pup

Sorry Dario but it is not, the Oak is though. I will try to find out what that one is.

Ok Pup
If you can I too am curious as to what it is.
Cheers, Dario.
EDIT just had another look at the pic labelled Oak, and it looks like it is possibly a type of Turkey Oak. Maybe I misunderstood your response?
Not trying do be a pain. Great thread!

Dario the Oak looks like an English Oak(quercus robur) and the unknown tree I would agree it definately looks to be Corkbark oak(quercus suber).

Thanks for posting Pup. What I liked about Mauro was he was very entertaining to watch and listen to while he was working on his trees. Kept everyone informed as to what he was thinking and why he was doing what he did. Some great trees in these pics.

Thanks for sharing Pup
