Taiwan Juniperus -3

This is beautiful. One thing I have learned is how the affect of ridges and hollows in the deadwood improves the illusion of age.

This tree is outstanding, a beautiful piece of work.

Amazing work. Inspirational!!!

Hello Sidiao,

Your works you have presented are a marvel and a good reference in how to create movement in trees. I particularly like the effect you produce with the deadwood to increase the movement and the styling complements that. Truly magnificent!! It is a change from the usual we have here and adds a touch of mastery to the forum. One question, how do you make the deadwood and the features on them? Do you use carving tools and how? Thank you for posting.

regards,
Adam

Hi, Adam.
When I sidiao the shari. First, I observe the flow of bark and fiber under the bark. The water line and deadwood should follow the path. The width and depth of traces on deadwood should be more variable. My english is poor, maybe you can refer http://www.sidiao.com/class-T-J02e-2.htm

I'm not a Juniper fan, but your making me one.

Thanks you,

Hi Sidiao

Fantastic work. I have a few junipers that are recovering from collecting and just don't understand one aspect.
I would like to know if you remove all the live wood to create the shari in one go, or do you do this in stages.
I understand you follow the waterline, but how thick do you keep this, do you have a rule for this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Brett,

about 4-5 cm/at diameter 10-15cm. But the water line will reduce if the leaves are few and rare.
