Brian: i vote low cut,, but not my tree
alkeppler: You could do a apex makes a dive
alkeppler: sorry you could do a chokkan if you cut at the top where the apex makes a dive
Brian: i think it would be interesting to have seen the limbs there he chopped off in the feild
ripsgreentree: brian there is a picture posted that shows the results you are looking for this tree is 7 in from soil line to tip
ripsgreentree: bye the way feel free to do verts to show your expected results
bonsaiboy: hi al i'm just a newbie whats a chokkan?
alkeppler: Why does this tree also have such a big chop showing?
alkeppler: bby: Formal upright
bonsaiboy: thanks
bonsaiboy: rip have you actually made the cut or is it a virtual
ripsgreentree: Al this is another tree
Kathy:what do you mean "a big chop showing" what are you referring too?
Kathy: what part of the tree i mean
ripsgreentree: each tree that I have posted has a large healed chop on them
alkeppler: I know it is

>>>alkeppler sneaks quietly out of bonsaiTALK Chat.
ripsgreentree:wow I lost every one
alkeppler:Why do you orient the trees to highlight the chop in each case
>>> bonsaiboy jumps out of bonsaiTALK Chat. :
Kathy: we all got booted it seems
Kathy: i must go and finish my laundry. goodnite all
>>> Kathy begs your pardon and leaves bonsaiTALK Chat.
ripsgreentree: I don't think that it is intentional I just like to sho all of the defects the shohin can be turned around and the chop is almost gone
alkeppler: Why don't you induce more angle when you chop
alkeppler: If you are going to be choping stuff that big you need to cut at about 70 degrees
alkeppler: sorry my fingers are not hitting the keys
ripsgreentree: I can do that
alkeppler: I think on the shohin tree that the chop is almost straight across
ripsgreentree: I am not offended by healed chops
ripsgreentree: it about 45 degrees far from strait
alkeppler: me either if they add to the design.
ripsgreentree: cool
