Я полностью согласна и смотрю уже не первое творчество этого специалиста по дереву.Такое впечатление что это такое гибкое,а не пенек и скорее всего березы.

Speaking of trolls, people were criticizing someone for doing over grown yards on his own time for free. They couldn't see this man's altruism as helping the elderly or folks who just don't have money to pay someone to do it. Fantastic work! I wish I could buy it.

Astonishing. A clear cut cellular 3 dimensional introspective into a relatively fast growing old Nth. American log. Never before achieved in any worldly homo sapien artistic endeavour or algebraic context. Well bloody done. Rorocs, Tasmania.

You've proven time and time again, Dan, that you can tackle any chunk of wood out there in nature and turn it into a masterpiece. Nothing ever seemed to phase you in any way. But this one? OMG!

Have you tried fine line tape - used to mask curves when painting cars to mark your lines? You can get it in narrow widths to make it easy to go around curves.
