And now for the inspiration. I wasn't sure what way to go with this tree, the main trunk doesn't leave many options and isn't its best feature. There was a weeping willow near my house that got struck down in a storm and has just started to come back to life. Half the trunk is rotted out, and only one branch has begun to recreate the tree. I would like to create a similar effect in a weeping form with this tree, cutting off the main trunk and carving out the front to capture the spirit of this willow. The front is still undecided, and the roots will be worked on when I repot into a more suitable pot. On the willow the branch comes from behind the trunk. Suggestions and comments please...
