New Aquisition #3
Also while at Maruyama, I noticed several very nice sumo tridents. I narrowed it down to 2 trees. One was way out of my price-range, but this one was quite reasonable.
First pic is the front, second is the back. I've already started carving out the big chop wound on the front to make this a hollow trunk style tree. I think it will be quite striking. I will post some pics of the carving later on. - bob

the base is 9 inches across and the tree is currently 20 inches high. I may eventually lower the apex a bit.
