Carving Acer ginnala Flame tree.

Hi everyone. Since my last carving accident I haven't been doing a lot of carving lately. So I thought I should give it another go. Here is my carving on one of this year bareroot purchases.

Pic of the back side. Those leggy maples are to threadgraft the roots later.

Hi Dk

good to see you havent lost any fingers! thats a fair bit of carving you have done there mate, i will be interested to see how this comes out with some branch building and a full head of foliage.

I reckon the pic that you are asking backside or front I would make it the front mate, maybe a couple more pics from different angles would be good

Thanks jamie for the front suggestion. Will need to cut the bigg root that way if it is to be front.

gday mate

those colours are very nice, do you get that colour in bris?

I wouldnt stress right now about how it looks as it needs a good bit of growing to give you options. so let it go for a good few months, you should have some good growth where you can later decide which needs to be kept where, and start building it all mate

Nop jamie, this is the colour in Brisbane. Maybe it will colour up nicely when it's really cold here
