Hello Steven,

David, I think your coro's would look much better with longer tears, they look too short and manufactured.

 

I was going to get some different sized branches an load them till they went to get a better idea of how they should look for the coro's. They more often than not, i would imagine, have a slight barber chair with a nice tear on the downward side.

 

Just a thought Mr Piccaso

It's Michelangelo actualy Deano, and yes I wholeheartedly concur with your view.

 

Trying to adapt this technique but it does depend greatly on timber condition and access to it.

 

I'll keep the practice up.

Nah David, that sounds too Latin for my liking.

 

When I get some time, god knows when that will be, I'll try and do some fracture tests

Come on David, if your going to quote that Latin stuff get it right.

 

Inonotus hispidus is the correct spelling.

 

If your being picky, Latin names should be in italics or underlined (which it will be now in the box above)

Very good point DM, but no nesting this time of year.

Plenty of dive bombing from the little green goblins though.

They are very teritorial.

Thought i'd ask as i've seen a few squabs about!
