Some caving this week - Flowering peach

Post by kvan64 »

This double flowering peach is darker in colour and is not as profuse as the one I posted earlier but I think it's worth a try still. I dug it up last year and completely forgot about it. When I realized, one side of the tree was dead. Anyway, this gave me the opportunity to work with my rusty hobby - carving...

Hi DK,
Excellent carving and silhouette on this one. It already looks like an old tree. :cool:

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I actually did change the planting angle a bit after carving. Hope that those flower buds will not be affected and will develop more flowers soon.

Great carving! Did you use a Dremmel or a die grinder?
