Re: Live Tree carving in Africa
That's amazing! Do you know what kind of tree that is? I'm wondering how it can survive that kind of thing? and also if the carving lasts, or does it get covered by come kind of callus growth?
Or maybe the carving is on some kind of creeper that's growing on the tree stem?? |

Re: Live Tree carving in Africa
Sorry to burst your bubble guys. I could have sworn I'd visited that tree before, and I've never been to Africa...
