I havn't seen to many of these styled yet, and out of those I hadvn't seen very many(if any) with the scale like dead wood, so I assumed that people must do something to it. I like the natural look better.<br />Thanks for answering!<br /><br />Dan W.Dan W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01536556057883261051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227360790206691468.post-37035287875240918322011-12-11T18:17:34.378+01:002011-12-11T18:17:34.378+01:00For heaven's sake no!

I learn a lot simply from studying your pictures and reading the comentarty.<br />I have some collected ponderosa like the one above. What is the best way to deal with the dead wood like in the photo? Do you grind it down with a dremel to smooth it out?<br /><br />Thanks for your time.<br /><br />Dan W.Dan W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01536556057883261051noreply@blogger.com
