Nice to have learnt from someone in the flesh.I got a book and DVD out of the states and watched and did the pieces along with the video and book. How much do you spend on a tree and does he make them to suit I have tired heaps of times to get trees and they are hard to come by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He builds to your specifications within reason. He has a name for building one of best trees anywhere in the world and in nz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
