tortured_trees_?

Dear blog-vievers ...

Today, as an exception, an issue on my own behalf.

Due to current responses (+ outside this blog),
there is something I have to point out clearly!

When I am saying
(especially in my raw-material-development-postings) :

"... find the smallest tree ... "

I am meaning:

" ... Reduce the tree to the "less is more"-state of design,
on wich health and energy of the tree is in n o  w a y endangered !!! ... "

For me, this basic-requirement is such a matter of course,
that i did not metion it.

Juniperus_communis_#1


On Monday this week I was lucky enough to find this Juniperus Communis in a small nursery.




















The truncline showed a Crossing of two branches and the straight trunc was a bit boring,
So a drastic decision according to the basic design had to be made.


I decided to use the left branch wich has almost  the dimensions of a subtrunc.
So here we go ... The raw-material after the first cut.























The first part of the new design. Heavy bendings and anchoring on the iron-bar  and trunc.
The bendings and primary wiring will be continued next week, after the first part has set.
