The last two images with the slab are virtuals, just wishful thinking. The slab by Jan Culek is already in my garden. I do not want to place the spruce onto it now. Can wait until end of August or middle of April. I will report. The tree at them moment is in a very small pot on purpose. Thus it can be slip-potted without disturbing the rootball.

I am always amazed and look in real awe these ancient trees surviving the collection and habituate the limited space of a pot!
I know my comments are worth nothing, however I cannot but say "Amazing work" !
And you do not use muck for your slab potting you have said Mr. Pall @Walter Pall ? Am I correct?

beautiful! do you treat the carved wood with lime sulfur at all or is that patina just from burn, brush, then let age?
thanks for sharing!!

No muck necessary, as the rootball is very firm.

Extraordinary piece of material Walter, and a fine job of styling. When did the big root come off? Is that the big hollow at the base?

That is a very informative progression for me. I will be referring to it many times over the years I am sure for my spruce yamadori. Thank you for this.

How many times did you wire the tree? Twice plus guy wires?
