Best original authors tree.

@Anthony Hello, Yes Hawthorn wood is quite soft actually and the dead wood will have ronseal wet rot wood hardener applied periodically, thus far ive only really carved into the already dead side/bits of the tree, i can see where the live veins are and have not touched them, i stopped carving into the heartwood where it began to show a whiter colour.

This Copper beech i acquired from a nursery in winter 2015

Today-in training, been styled to look like a fragmented, veteran Yew tree, maybe the result of a powerful lightening strike
