Chris this where I was hoping you would go with the tree. I didn't have the skills to embellish where you have gone with it but that was my leanings on it. Nice direction and a good early styling.

Chris, I hope you don't mind my screwing with your tree with my crude vert. I changed the front and aimed it at a KK juni.

Chris I like the look of the swan or even stork that you have made with the cutting and peeling of wood as you put it. If you where to follow Harry's movement you would have the stork hiding in the bushes look... Wow I need another cup or two of coffee.

Harry,
Thanks for the virt. I agree that the swooping jin to the right probably needs to be reduced, but I dont' think removing it altogether might be the best option. I will be wiring this one in the future, but right now it's just happy putting on new growth.

J W,
Or a cup or two less... :D
