Re: Crepe Myrtle 3 Years Progression
Nice trunk, nice job, and nice branch arrangement
How long from the first pic to the last pic.
oops, just saw the heading, three years. Excellent. i have one that has been a work in progress for twelve months from collection and they respond well.

Re: Crepe Myrtle 3 Years Progression
fantastic progression Gabriel!
Love these trees and LOVE your styling. Great work on the carving as well. They lend themselves to hollows etc.
Thanks for posting.

Re: Crepe Myrtle 3 Years Progression
Fantastic what patience and skill. Your little brother looks to be a cool kid. Why don't you put a small buddha in the hole in the trunk? I must admit I like figurines. Some don't, the Chinese do.
Well done that man.
