Third Stage: Working the Deadwood
Debarking and preparation of deadwood
Refining the deadwood
Protection against ingress of pathogens with liquid jin
In the third operation we commit to stripping bark and foliage
from branches in order to guide them towards total desiccation
and the least possible loss of sap. As a result, a series of actions are
carried out with deadwood technique (cutting, shredding, grinding,
liquid jin) aimed at providing protection from pathogens and
credible aesthetics and naturalness, working the deadwood with
characteristics of the deadwood for this species as created by Nature.
Consider, however, that in spite of the techniques employed, it will be
a long time before the worked deadwood will acquire a natural and
believable look that is obtained mainly due to weather.
