Hey mate. I actually like the big scar on the front, it gives the tree character and interest in the front. Though you would probably need to apply wood hardener and a bit of lime sulpher if you where wanting it to be a feature of the tree to preserve it, which is what I would do because it looks good I think. :D

hey pal :D


obviously this tree is still in growth sort of stage, any chance of a couple of other angles? maybe a top veiw aswell?

i think the tree has some good potential, and the scar can be used to good effect and work in well with the design, i can see a nice tree coming out of this one, with some more ramification and leaf reduction should be a sweet tree in a couple of seasons.
