I’ve got several collected junipers, along with landscape collected conifers including more junipers and yews, that all have deadwood features, some naturally occurring and others carved by me. Some have been recently cleaned and bleached with lime sulfur, and others are in dire need of it.
I think it was a good effort on my part, and the results are decent... but I think it could have been better with some guidance from a design perspective. It's all good, though. I'm ok letting people know I did the work .
