Gday all, well since my team lost the world cup, well done spain.
and ive been up most of the nite i thought id take out my frustration on a cheap shimp that i had sitting around.
poor bugger got split, wrapped, twisted, and clipped lol. looking at it now i think the right branch needs to go.
let rip guys and girls always open to some constructive criticism.
cheers

gday mate

when i seen the tree getting split, then wire up the length i thought here we go! expecting some gnarly twists and turns, then i see a smooth movement literati the styling is all good, agree with ya on the right hand branch not needed in the design but keep it for strength for the treee right now, i wouldnt have been to phased about running the wire up the trunk or wrapping with the subtle movement mate, did you seal the split edge?

nice work champ

jamie

hey Jamie,
yeah i was going to go crazy with some twists and turns,well the wires in there now i might leave the top like it is and compress the f__k out of the trunk,
first try with inner tube much easier than raffia ,might end up doing that if parramatta lose tonite lol.
cheers mate

ahh i thought that might have been the case champ i dont know if the tree wants paramatta to lose or win

the inner tube is very easy to work with isnt it! i havent used raffia before but i dont see the need with the inner tube so easy

look forward to seeing who wins
