Salvage Project

This weekend I worked a tree that I got cheap because of it's reverse taper. I could have air layered, but decided to try to create shari to reduce the heavy parts of the upper trunk. I figured this would be good practice material. It still has some carving to do on the jins, as well as more reduction in taper, but that's for later. Well, let me know what you think. Comments, critiques & virtuals are welcomed and appreciated.

Before.
