I received a dremel for christmas which I was very pleased about. I gave it a go today and carved the top of my yamadori ash which I have spoken about previously. I carved a jin in the top of the trunk and also attempted to give it more of a taper towards. I was not able to take a photo i’m afraid because as soon as I finished it the sky went black and the rain started hammering down.
It was harder than I thought it would be but I think I may need a few extra specialist tools for the job. It was quite slow going with the tools I had. I need a tool which can rip a lot of wood off at the start before I refine it afterwards. I’ll be having a look on ebay and maplin very soon to find some!
I am very pleased with the result and will be taking some photos of it tomorrow to post here. I also still need to paint on the lime sulphur to create the jin at the top of the trunk.
In a way I’m glad it rained afterwards so that the moisture could be replenished in the tree.
Here is the ash tree before carving back in the summer
