Carved Shohin Golden Dewdrop

Here is a Golden Dewdrop ( Durantra Erectra ) That I recently carved...
Next spring it will go into it's new pot.
 

Like!

I think that the dead wood is not natural but it's just my vision of your tree.

Agree. Too many similar see-thru holes, and a bit too much deadwood.

agree with abcd. Love virtual

What virtual?

There was a nice virt made by abcd. It's gone now.

Nice brass knuckles look. The "Mafia Tree" perhaps.  

Thanks everyone for the comments... and I am glad to see that the Virt,
has now made a "Come-back".

This tree had a very, very boring straight trunk... So I thought I would
add some life to the tree.

Is the carving "natural" perhaps, perhaps not... but, it is interesting !!!

As far as the "Come-back" virt... I had thought about eliminating the top
branch and building the entire tree off of the bottom trunk, and this still
may happen... we'll see. If I do though, I will probably end up making a
fuller tree rather than just off to the side.

Stacy Allen Muse,

I like it...........you've clearly improved what seemed to have been boring material. I agree with you that if you remove the upper branch then the tree will be better off as a fuller tree. Duranta is a vigorously growing species which would make a fuller tree as your design appear much more convincing.

Twisted Trees,

Mafia knuckles......hahaha:D 

Thanks for showing.
