New Yamadori Hawthorn – my biggest yet (part 3)
Today I carved my hawthorn using hand tools including a stanley knife and a large penknife. I tried to tear off as much as I could to give it more of a natural look but it is so thick it took a long time to remove any amount of wood. I am happy with the largest branch on the right hand side but I might go back and carve the one on the left a bit further later on.
It’s been painted with lime sulphur to preserve the deadwood.
