I might be tempted to remove the left most branch as it is relatively thick and this makes it very dominant in the scape in my opinion.

Hi C, You are not the first to say that. A good friend who is great with design like you and the wife said the same thing ;) Now its for the chop.

Thank you :thumbup: Now I am thinking of grafting on another twiggy bit to match the rest ???? Ho how it drives you mad keep looking and looking then NO that's not right :arghh:

That' what great about forums all the help and info:cool:
 
Wow you don't waste any time...I see you're putting your new rock purchase to use straight away:) Interesting scape, looking forward to seeing this develop.
 
Nice work Roy

Is that the wood you got at the weekend? best get it in a bucket of water, you dont want it floating off

Hi Mate, The front twiggy bits are from the W/end Yes there going in a bucket as we speak :D The others are old pieces well soaked :thumbup:

It was really a fab day :thumbup: Great to meet up with you all and chat plus watch George create a wonderful scape in real time :cool::cool:

If I can ?? Would be great to see you all again / Sat 21 Nov And see how the scape is coming along Ho and get some more small bits of DW Ho and some Rock :lol:

Speak soon

It was amazing to watch him drop the hardscape in with minimal effort. I can only dream of being that talented one day
Not sure what I'm doing on the 21st but if I'm not up seeing the kids in Yorkshire I'll definitely meet up.

Is this the 40cm cube?

Hey Roy,

Lovely hardscape, and much better without the thick branch. I really like the two twigs over the stones, it looks really natural
It seems you've been inspired from last weekend

Looking forward to seeing it flooded!

Cheers,
Manu
