Carving Prep
This year I will start to carve a few California junipers that I have around the backyard. The one I worked on this evening is ready for some carving. I have started to peel away the bark on some of the dead areas. The top was cut back and some of the stubs were broken and split with a trunk splitter.
In the coming weeks I will start the tedious task of removing large portions of wood with power tools till I get the trunk like I want it. Some small wireing will be done and then it will rest again for a few years to gain strength and grow more foliage.
The last picture shows three more junipers that will get carving this summer.
