I found myself with some free time after work today to resume work on the juniper. I decided that I could start to rough out the initial carving. I feel that if I break the carving up into segments, I will not get bored and screw something up. To night I gathered up all my favorite carving tools. Die grinder, chainsaw attachment for angle grinder, and flex shaft tool for roto-zip. the flex shaft holds dremel size bits and makes the more detailed carving easier. I have tungston carbide burrs for all the carving tools and these things work extremely well. Especially on dry wood. The extra coarse will not clog on dry wood.
After this first segment of carving, I wired the foliage (what there is) into an upright shape. Fertilizer has been making the foliage grow well and I did some pinching for increased mass.
See any difference?
