Hi Karl,


Very nice Oaks your have here, they must be very old, looking at the bark. I dont know if I have to agree with some of the remarks that your iniyial styling, looks like you'd styled a pine or juniper. What where your thoughts in this styling? Can you explain why you went for the conifer build up of the branches, is it of later use?

I have recently bought an English Oak too (Quercus Robur) as you can see in the pictures. It's probably not as old as your 3 examples. It stands 50 cm high. I've photographed it on four sides. What would you do with this one?

Thanks for your answers,

With kindest regards, Wessel
