Just for archive,
an update of the Elder after some further designing.
The job of Nov. 16 now done in Feb. 17.
- the aim is to promote the main branches to becom similar knotty as the trunc
- repotting in mid or end of March. 'don't like the position within the pot
- therefore the guy-wires are fixed to the trunc itself.
I can lift out the tree and repot it without loosing the branches positions.
There won't be left any scars from the anchor-srews ...
Welcome to my blog.
This blog will show the development of some of my raw-material-yamadoris.
I am a fool for linden, but I also like to work with other native species as well ...

Prunus Mahaleb update
Based on this particular tree I begin to become clearer to the fascination of
developing raw-material.
It is a matter of decisions. I like to make (designing-)decisions!
And I have to do alot of decision at that stage of development.

prunus_carving
Hello again.
An example-case of carving on a Prunus Cerasifera with the untouched viewing side
before "the grind" and afterwords.
The tree itself is not a cracker-one, 'just an object of trial.
It had a dry truncpart from the base untill the top.
First I removed the dry bark with a coarse steelbrush in a powertool.
Then I did the carvings.
The wood of Prunus-species is nice to carv. 'Quiet hard and good to be bleeched with
lime-sulphur.
The design is not finished yet. The whiteness of the sublime parts is too unnatural bright,
but time and wether will give a humble patina to that.
'Hope you enjoy ...

Fungi_time
This year the alder-pot was populated by a fungus.
I am not sure about the species of the fungus, maybe a member of the COPRINELLUS-family ... ?
This sort of mashrooms are decomposing dead wood (lying in the humus).
Therefore I am not worried, that the fungus will have a negative effect on the living wood-tissue of the alder itself.
Well, I hope so anyway ...

project_juniper
Last weekend my bonsai-friend Andrew gave me the honor to be my guest.
After some talk shop about my modest collection, we decided to do some work-practise.
We choose a Juniperus Chinensis blauwii to work on.
We cleared out the branch-structure for later designing in autumn.
I made a (very lousy) picture with my smart-phone to make some virtuals as a pattern
for the designing-session.
The picture of the raw-material:
Andrew's draft in a kind of naturalistic style :
