By 1987 I was reading some things in Naka's book about tunuki. I figured that it can't be that hard. I should give this a try and see if I can make something really good.

I had no access to dead wood, but was cutting firewood every year. I cut off these dead root bases from old trees turned over in the winds.

Check out the bulk of the deadwood in the first one, and who ever heard of an elm tunuki? Man what we do when we know no better.
