This weekend we worked together with my good friend Milan Karpíšek. This tree is from the garden of Oldřich Kašpar. His garden is full of very good quality trees, so its very nice to work here...

this tree was very fragile, so some movments of branches are not perfect now, and lot of branches we will cut late on summer.

another Shimpaku from Japan...

This tree was imported from Japan by Václav Novák. It need some care, so I tried to do my best... It is possible to do some shari on the trunk, but better on summer time. Here is the result after the three days of work.

New garden roof

Last weekend we made the rest place with roof in the garden. Next step will be the wooden floor and the roof covering. I was unable to do it myself, so I did it with my very good friend "Króťa". He is a professional carpenter, so the result of the work is exactly what I wanted! Thanks my friend!!!
