Monster yew reworked

Hello people I want to show you that I have a yew tree shaped 4 years ago. Today I reworked the yew.

Hi Karl,
Great great tree I love the balance

Regards Chris

Very good work and very inspiring.

Very nice tree Karl.

the carving is also very nice.

regards,
jun

Great design Karl. Like the carving - it looks a bit spooky. Let's a see a virtual with one of your female friends!

Great styling again Karl. I have a couple of questions. Do you always style Yews at this time of year? I find the new foliage is easily damaged. Why have you left sections of dead bark on the tree?

I like your new design much better!
Best,
Todd

Very nice styling Karl.
The tree looks great from all sides. Congratulations.

Hi will, good question. I know it is not the best time for the yew is very strong and can well to bear this style. The bark is not dead it is connected to a root with the living trunk.
Thank you for your interest in my work.

Hi Rob, I studied many pictures of dead wood of yew. On very old yew, the dead wood looks very spooky. It was a lot of work with carving and crafted with the wood- grain. In the picture can be not seen the fine details to it must be in real see.
Thank you for your interest in my work. Can you remind yourself this Yew, you were judge competition 2007 at art of bonsai
