Very long Pinus sylvestris (owner Roman Nieslanik)

Hi all
Yesterday I worked on the "amazing" pine. He carried her friend Roman for a seminar.
The base composition is finished. Next year we will continue. The other two bending strain at the bottom.

Really nice so far, incredible bends as usual. Look forward to the next progression.

Have you any pictures of, or information on the bending techniques used?

Now that' a bend(s). Like spaghetti.

Like the white chair in the workshop too!

Thank you all for yours nice coments.
Rob is a chair for guests, you must come and try.
Justin, Unfortunately I do not have more photos. But I used two thin grooves in the trunk of the bend. Raffia bandage. When work bending is necessary to rotating strain in the axis.

I saw Pavel using this 'extreme' bend technique at Burrs last year. It really is as toe-curling as you'd expect, but amazingly simple to acheive. I can't see me doing it any time soon, though

Hi Roman!!

By the way.....that chair is as comfortable as it looks!

Hi Pavel,
What kind of black tape do you use to wrap with? Is it available in tool/hardware stores? Does it have adhesive?
Thank you,
Todd
P.S. I like how you styled this tree btw

Hi Todd
Thank you for your nice replies.
Yes, I use ordinary plastic electrical tape. fast convenient use. The glue and hold the raffia in the extreme bending. Another benefit. Not vulcanization it. Very well removed. Unwind. A very small price.
