Beautiful John, Thanks for sharing.

I REALLY LIKE the first tree..i am sure it took a very long time to make it the way it is...very good job,,thanks for posting...take care john

Ah. So John555leonard is Mr Oakton. I don't know you but I know your trees and have admired them for a long time. The carving on the Escalonia reminds me of Kev Willsons earlier work? Very good whoever did it. I had a couple of goes at Jaqueline Hillier Elm in my early days and found them really difficult. Red Spider Mite used to dine out on mine on a regular basis and the branches would snap if you looked at them. Thanks for showing.
