I love it like it is JB!
The way the bark peels back and tapers to the ground is awesome! Irene

Not at the moment as I am stripping it about 5-6 times a year, so it does not get much of a chance... this is to build ramification and budding where I require it on the main trunk.

I agree with Irene, that is a great looking tree as is. Two questions. How long have you had it and is it safe to strip it that many times in one year? |

This is quite an old looking tree, great job finding this trunk. I think it looks great as is, and would focus efforts on preserving the deadwood, near the ground.

Update on carving
Just spent the last week carving and preserving wood. however I have not finished carving the stump at the front. I have shown a view of the top that has been carved and hollowed out as well. Any input is welcommed.

Using a wire brush on a Dremel tool will soften the carved lines and help it to appear naturally worn by the elements.
