acer campestre

we (machiel) and i eric are cutting out some wood.
the tree has open site on the back, and so we thought it would be nice to open the tree up.
so here it is.

Very nice tree, but I’m not sure about the hollow. I can’t quite put my finger on it but something aint right. Is it me or anyone else have a similar view? I do like the tree though.

Hello Eric. Good piece of Field Maple . I think you should hollow out more at the base, open out the carving more and taper the top.

Hi Will
Looking at it for longer I think I would have left the live bridge between the potential uro and the dead area at the nebari and hollowed it out, but hey that’s just my opinion each to their own. Still it’s a nice tree.

Yo pregunto una cosa .. Era necesario el hueco? .. mi no me termina de convencer ...

Perdón por la opinión .... : D

I ask one thing .. Is the hole required ? .. I am not convinced ...

Sorry for the opinion.

the base needs certainly more cutting out,
but this is an couple off hours work that i wanted to share.
the rest will follow up later.
when i am a bit furthmore i will show you the evolvement.

for now thanks for the repley

I like the tree and the uro looks semi-natural. It needs some refinement, but I like the rounded top. The only thing I would do if it were mine is to let the leader grow unrestricted next year as to match the base, then cut it back. The rest of the branching is pretty much where they need to be.

hello rick,

i agree with the grow of the leader, that was also my thoughts. it needs to ticken up.
thanks for your post

This is a great piece of material & I do realize your work is not completed yet. That said, This tree had wonderful character BEFORE making the "tunnel". A small uro that would not be the "star of the show" would have been modest and appropriate.

Because one can now see daylight through the tree..The hole now becomes the main attribute of the tree which did not need any help...it already had the character it needed.

Just my opinion. But again, congrats on a great stump.

Hi guys and girls!

I'd like to mention the rotten inside of the tree, sooner or later this had to be done.
Eric did thicken de deed a little, say for visual purposes.
In real live he is getting there (i hope)

Tree is still among chickens in my garden hehe! i wil keep it for a modest change!!!

Some thought's from me for the future.....

I understand Pascal to say "I really like this style of tree. It works by following the wood and then being refined." or something similar.

Oui c'est ça Kev, merci

Hi Eric.

Interesting and promising tree.
