Hi All,
Just a bit of theory crafting here. My understanding is that the raft style is meant to mimic when a tree falls over and then a new trunk or trunks grow up from the existing side branches. However, almost all the examples of rafts that I see have the roots firmly in the ground and then a step curve to the trunk with new roots forming further down the trunk where it touches back down. Does anyone have any experienced with a "fallen tree" style raft in which half the root mass is exposed? It seems like the exposed roots could have a really nice dead wood appearance. I have attached a horrible drawing to depict the general idea.
