Hello, fellows;

As I was working on this small juniper (shohin-to-be) it occurred me this piece of deadwood (difficult to see on the picture, but it twists towards the front of the tree) is a little too long.
I've been wondering if I get the Dremel and shorten it at the red line.
Thoughts?

Maybe even shorter? Or strip it, heat it en bend it in an interestong shape?

Well, you know the saying:
"Bend it or break it!"

:woohoo:

Got the same idea as LB: keep it, give it some good twists, jin it.

Example:


If it doesn't work out... you can always cut it later.
