I cleaned out the old needles to see what I have to work with:
I acquired this yamadori Spruce this past spring. I gave it a rough wiring in a workshop with Larry Jackel, but I didn’t want to do too much at once.
It’s a yamadori, naturally a raft, probably got stepped on by an elk and knocked down years ago. There’s roots growing down all along the “trunk”. And then, all the trunks move to the right, making it look like a natural windswept. I’m thinking of eventually putting it on a slab.
Ah... “windswept”. The very idea scares me! Many have tried, few have succeeded... But, this one might be one that will work.
