I think the posters question is intended to be a redundant one, maybe even just a teensy weensy bit of "in your face?"

It was a legitimate question..

Not possessing the necessary skills to carve the shari (if necessary) I wanted to find out if the trunk on the tree would be fine just as it is, that's all.

P.S. I don't own the tree yet !

How 'bout "as is" in a pot?

Could you covet the tree in your back yard and wait for Frank/OKBONSAI to have another one of those featured artist demo/workshops where you can bring and carve on the tree with a teacher?

P.S. Great Tree!!

To carve that tree would be a crime.
