a couple of new trees

Hi,
thought I would share a couple of trees acquired this year.



1st , a Fern Leaf Beech. I am looking forward to working with this one as I love Fagus and this will be a challenge.





2nd an English Elm. This is my first English Elm so also looking forward to working this one.

Interesting trees Peter, I am sure they will become great images in your hands

Regards Chris

I love your trees. I'm very intrigued with the beech. And the elm stump has great potential! I wish I could find beech material like that over here  

thanks for the replies guys.
Todd, the beech came through from a member of our local club.
Unfortunately, he died quite suddenly earlier this year and the family donated his collection to the club.
I will try to do this one justice in his honour.
The lower branches need to develop a lot more so this will be the first job.
With fagus this is a slow job, so this is a long term project.
I will give updates when there is something to show.
