Tree hunter

My first one is in its second year the second tree has prob bin worked for over ten years and the deadwood can take just as long as the foliage to get right.

This is one of mine starting out its a privet. This one isnt mine just a pic of a local club members tree just to give you an idea.

Hi all am new here. Thought this might be a good place to ask i am looking to collect old yew,hawthorn,larch, stumps or small trees that are still alive. I am a landscape gardener but my passion and hobby is bonsai carving. If anyone can help from the north west i would be made up. Looking to collect in febuary.
