Cornus the fat double trunk

Hello people, just before Christmas. I made a few small dead wood work on my Cornus mas double trunk, he has a lot of weight.
Found in 2001 in Hungary and since 2007 in work. He will still be several years in training before the first exhibition.
Before processing 2006

Spring 2007 planted in the pot

today

Nice carving on the base.
Good luck with it.

Very good tree indeed Karl and I love the deadwood carving.

Can't wait to see further development, especially in flower and fruit!

Lovely tree and carving!

Very nice material and work too! I´d like to mention just one detail - is it possible to narrow, to make thinner the part of deadwood in the red elipse? It should improve the taper. If it is not possible to take out some deadwood, then I´d add some hole, uro there.

Nice if you like my work on the deadwood, here are some details.

Oh, I´m so sorry and bashful! Now I see I forgot to add the picture....

Hi Karl,

Wonderful tree with depicting very very old age and lots and lots of character - especially at the base of the trunks. The dead wood and the hollows are just too good. However what I liked most about the tree is this little branch....(pic below) In its smallness, it completes the canopy of the main trunk in a very unique way. Great to know that you thought about it....

Ravi, yes the tree is very old, probably more than 100 years. I have a lot of respect from those trees and I give the tree enough time to after recover for work.

Hello Karl,

All that I love as tree .... beautiful piece

Thank you

Very good work

Love the detail in the carving. However... I think you may have to revise the carving in the future. You have carved the new grain in the wood, across the natural grain and even now can see how it is going to split along the natural path.

Hi Karl

Really beautiful tree, I look forward to spring flowers, and other developments. Dead wood looks very good. beautiful work.
