Wednesday workshop

3rd February 2010

We had a great turn out at our Wednesday workshop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John worked on his scots pine.
He wanted to see if we agreed about removing the left hand branch.

Before.

John covered the branch. We all had another look.

Chris gives his thoughts.	John was sure and started to cut

The end result...

Pabling sent John a comment,

"I salute you John for your courage to cut that branch, as the saying goes, no guts no glory, the tree looks great. "

Michael from Holland said,

"And yeah! good move on the pine, seems to be dancing now! "

Gerwyn re-potted a juniper with a rotten base.
He fixed it onto a block of wood and used wood hardener to seal it.

Gerwyn will use milliput an epoxy putty to construct a better base.
Milliput is a very hard, moldable putty that sets rock hard in an hour and is then you can carve, it will also take a stain.

Pabling wrote,

"Good idea Gerwyn, of replacing the rotten part of the base with a fresh block. I also encountered the same problem before but instead of wooden block, I used plaster of pariis, its easier to use and it will last longer, it wont rot. "

Gerwyn cleans the deadwood.
