Bending the trunk of a Pinus sylvestris #2

I need to do one more bend to make the tree compact and ready for 'normal' shaping, but decided to wait untill the tree shows good growth after the two first severe bends. Even if it looked very dramatic to bend the trunk so much the tree has shown no signs of stress. It has kept growing like nothing ever happened and I will do the next bending later this summer. I will report when it is done. Here are some photos from the workshop.A big thanks to Peter Warren for a brilliant demo and workshop!!
