Wooden trees

Postby chataigner » 27 Oct 2014, 07:56

Yes I know, they all are, but these are special. ;) ;)

Went to a craft fair yesterday and found these, not the first I've seen but the level of detail and quality of workmanship was outstanding :

You obviously get a better standard of craft fairs down there. Lots of other nice stuff too.

LInks work fine here, maybe the cross channel string is broken.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Thank you for posting that link, there is some very nice work in that collection.

Lots of time and patience cutting small stuff like that.

Cheers

I like the Baobab. I tried to grow some of them once, just got them going at the 3rd attempt and my mum didn't water them while we were on holiday and they died. Gave up after that! :cry:

Your climate is not quite suited to the Boabab. They generally like hot drier regions and sunshine! :D

Agree with you. I grown lots of succulents and trees from seed and have lost them in our cold dry winter (forgot to protect them)

I went through a Bonsai phase and read that they can be bonsai'd so that was my driver. They would have been kept indoors then so heat should have been okay but they got no water for 2 weeks an crisped up. :)

Bonsai don't want to be kept indoors, that is the fastest way to kill them.
They want fresh air and sunshine.
One of my small thorn trees didn't survive the winter, quite sad as it was about 15 years old.
