If you say so...
I will still take my piece of crap trees over my non piece of crap
Trees anyday !!!
They so far have taught me more, and have allowed me the ability
To try new techniques I would have never been able to do with
Material that didn't need such persuasion...
Curious though... where this land of really good trees is.
Or if it actually exists... every time I see a vid of someone like
Bjorn style a tree, he tells the viewer that the tree has been work
For very many years to have got it to the state it is where he is going
To work on it... I guess, even the trees he works on must of been
Crap at one point in time as well...
I am sure I won't get to many thanks for pointing out the obvious.
Alright... I have to call you out on something man.... I went hunting through your threads to find your crap trees... and all I can say is I didn't find them. I found a lot of very good trees with great bones and potential, some outstandingly so... with nary a stinky piece of offal to be found. So what gives...?
Maybe we have different definitions of the word crap?
We must... because the only thing crappy about your threads was the lack of response to an obviously good eye for material, and enough sensitivity to be able to do something good with it without sacrificing the nature of the tree itself.
As for the land of good trees... you'd be worthy of being taken there if it were mine to share, and if you didn't live in the south where they would die. I have walked in the garden of the gods, been in awe, and come home with the treasures it would yield. I wouldn't say that to just anyone... so take it for the compliment it is.
Give yourself a break... your trees aren't crap. And if all you've shared is your crap trees... please entertain me with your non-crap ones. I for one would make sure I commented on that. Welcome to the world of working on good trees.... doing interesting things.... and getting little to no response because people only seem to have something to say to the poor guy that thought a shari could circumnavigate the trunk. Most people don't feel incredibly clever commenting on trees that are going down the right path, so they say nothing as often as not. I for one am not afraid to tell you thank you for adding some signal to the noise.

P.S. I'll be sending you a friend request... I hope you'll take it. It allows me to see what your up to in my feed, and I would enjoy that.
