Wow Jim summat else we agree on... I find them to be coarse in the extreme, neither 'Natural' or abstract.

Really?

As much as I HATE those ugly things of Walter Paul's, I like these. Well, not the ficus, that just looks wrong. But the first and third are great, imo.

The literati tree works the best with the stone pot. It must take a lot of work to grind out a pot from the rock. What kind of rock does your friend use?

A literati or a cascade with lots of deadwood will look good in a stone pot but upright ficus will be better in a conventional pot.
What kind of rock did they use?
