It will not be an easy tree! That's for sure...
If only the top branch were alive, this would be so much easier.
That's a wicked tree my friend!Just got a nothofagus dombeyi, a fake beech as they call them.
half way up the trunk is dead... sadly... as I thought it wasn't when purchased online.
I will have to use the deadwood for sure... I love it, it is a bit soft thoughI don't think so. You'll have great deadwood to work with!
I'm gonna have to watch that later.Some of the low branching looks quite usable....
You seen this?
Reminds me of this material.

That's right! I forgot you had told me you had visited.These are awesome trees. I had the chance to work on some and collect some when I was in Chile in 1999. Wish they'd grow in Los Angeles. Won't take much to sort this out . They get some very cool awesome natural shapes.
Thanks Vin!! I am wat to noob for something like this, but I hope to make something nice out of it.That's a wicked tree my friend!
