First larg saikei (cliff side)

[Nwaite]

Putting this up to keep track of progress on this project...

Tonight ill just be attaching the larger rock on to my dish.

I have a few more small one I can use if I wish that match this one.

I'll have around 8 smaller fic .B cuttings I can use in a few days and a larger group of 3 ...

Grabbed some mini palm stuff today to also include if the size matches up.

looks like petrified wood. Nice

Look so I had to get better glue for it... the first run did not work out well, but I have it on there super good now...

I have another chunk of rock that's the same stuff.

Should I put on or leave it?

1 is with out
2 is with
And 3 is the side view to see what i would be working with..

 

[jriddell88]

whats it weight, and how did you attach it? looks like you defied gravity!! lol

it does look like an ancient piece of wood, I don't think the little rock is necessary though, I do like the rock.

I think you are considering the small rock to prop up / hide the bottom of the large rock.

Have you considered cutting the large rock with a tile saw, so you get a nice flat base?

 

[shimbrypaku]

I like @Bonsai Nut idea. It would solve the stability issue. If you don't have access to a tile saw they make tile cut off blades at the big box stores that fit saws and grinders of various types.

 

[Nwaite]

No doing the tile thing boys... she's on there for good... I wanted it to have the look of its not stable... but she's on and balances nicely.

And I'm not trying to hide the bottom, I just didn't know if it would look better with another rock on it or not. I know it's really hard to give a true opinion when it's only 2D.

 

[Nwaite]

Thats what i used to glue it..

And as for the wait... I don't know but I feels about the same as when I'm going pee... if you get my drift... ahhh... aahhhhhhhahahaha

 

[CWTurner]

Definitely without the bottom rock.

I like this as the front. Which means the low rock would be in back?

Which means you can add it w/o much worry about affecting this front.....?

Here....

Looks like the low rock can find a better position....

Just remember Moss and soil can hide things....

Fucking love this project...
Cooking up one of my own for this summer!

Never seen a guy come with tree after questionable tree....

Then completely knock it out the box with a rock!

I think you found your calling!

Friggin Sick!

Lol thanks dude.

I do enjoy working with other materials, it's what got me on the road to bonsai.
