I decided to shape the dead wood also for my biggest pine. I found out, that it´s better to do this job immediately. If you wait too long, it´s almost impossible to do it with tearing-technique (chisels and tongs). After all, it wasn´t so simple! I don´t like working with power tools too much, because the result looks too artificial.
First two imgages are from September 2009, right after collecting.
