lots of potential, but also lots of work involved! the trunk has a nice informal shape already etc, but looks like a heap of fun! is that the same tree in your avatar pic?

The tree at present is 18" tall, if we go with convention you need to chop off 6 inches to be proportional to your girth. I believe we are doing the same thing here from a different angle. I've attached a virt.
