I posted a thread about ideas/ opinions on the styling of this olive a few weeks ago. I had aquired this olive on a Facebook auction site about a month ago. Since then I have become more acquainted with this material and hopefully I can quickly become more "acquainted" in the future so I can pass on material like this which to be fair to myself would be difficult to do without seeing it in hand. The pictures did show the deadwood but not to the extent of how much deadwood there really is. 2/3 of the main branches are deadwood. Anyways I just bid and won and i should have asked questions. Live n learn.
Do I carefully use my dremel in multiple sessions along with a hand chisel to get rid of the black soft wood until I get to hard wood? Then remove any rotten roots during repoting into new course inorganic substrate. I dont want this spreading to the living tissue. You can see a vertical line which separates the dead and alive tissue.
