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.

Hi Dk :D

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 :D

jamie :D

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

gday mate :D

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 :D

jamie :D

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