Pinus sylvestris - wider trunk

Hi all friends .

Pretty yamadori Pine has a very interesting strain. Unfortunately, at the bottom of a small defect. (Grew between the stones.) In November 2009 I decided to remedy some defect. Everything succeeded, the work took two hours. The trunk is wider by two cm.

That's gonna be a very good tree Pavel!
Could you please explain a bit about this technique? How long are the wedges kept on the tree? What happens to the wound? Does it seal or will it turn into a hollow?

Hi Pola.

Original wedges had been removed. Gap holds, but for sure I have planted a small wedge. Meanwhile the gap. After some time the morning break. Not using any paste on healing. Pine resin is the same cave.
The gap has been created with regard to future potential of the upper side. Not be seen directly, but extends strain. This view provides a wide angle choice on the upper side of the styling.
As the weather improves, give photo here. (rain and rain )

Pavel,
Any more photos? This is interesting. I have a scots pine that has exactly the same problem. Although it does not possess the potential of yous, it will be a fun technique to attempt. How long after this technique will you wait to style the tree? How long before this work was the tree repotted?

Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil.

Pines were collected in spring 2008. Will probably shape up over the winter. Unfortunately, I have more photos. New only from this spring.

Nice work. I did a similar technique years ago to a shohin juniper but I made the opening into a shari and placed a extra piece of driftwood in the opening to fill the hole and to hold the gap open.

Hi all friends.

Pines 2010, prospered very well. At the end of the summer I was using wooden sticks, picked up the top of the tree.

On Saturday, I started working first styling Pines. I tried to create a dynamic composition, as it indicates the character of the trunk and the shape of some branches.
Today I finished the job. So far I have left several branches and composition may cause a bit heavy. In the spring when growth is working to reduce some of the branches.

Beautiful work as always!

Hi Milan.

Thank you for your nice replies.

Pavel

Hi! Pavel Hi all!

Pavel,...i do honest repley's even to the masters as u are!

I see as an image the tree weighing heavily to the left!
As for a first draft styling,....later on,....there wil be more power to the left side of this (good thing) improving trunk.

What does thefuture behold,...in plans?
If i may ask?... did i say moyogi,....oops

Grtzz,..from holland where i should sleep....after 20m2 stucco that is....whase there any tilling involved...i forgot
turtles that is,....they know!

Very interesting technique. I am impressed with your thinking out of the box on this one. I like the styling very much too!

Hi Andrew

Thank you for your nice replies.


Hi Machiel

Thank you for your nice coment and question.
Yes, you're right, the picture is the weight of the tree to the left. But in reality I'm happy. In the future, will be removed a few branches at the top right. It adds a space in a tree on the right and the weight will improve. Also, needles are too long, meanwhile, will all be addressed when the next styling.

Pavel

More photo wound strain and photos in total.




Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Very very good job. Do you have pics of the other positions before/after work?
Because I'm a beginner and I want to know which branche is in witch position to make this tree a model for one of mine.
Greatings.
Stéphane.

Great development as usual.
The technique is something I have to remember...very useful solution.

Cheers, Roland
