PELIKAN

After three days the works on Pelican are over. If I must talk about feeling, then I just can say: this is it. Such a tree can give you absolute satisfaction. Last day I was already tired. I have a hard time to get me into a rhythm that I need for wiring. But then the hours went like minutes. So. First work on dead wood, details, searching for live veins which were covered by old bark. 

Tri dni dela na Pelikanu je za mano. Če bi govoril o občutkih, potem bi na kratko lahko strnil v: to je to. To so drevesa, ki človeku dajo popolno zadovoljstvo. Zadnji dan je bil že malce naporen. Težko sem se spravil v ritem, ki ga moraš imeti ob žičenju. Ko pa je steklo so ure minevale kot minute. Skratka. Najprej delo na suhem lesu, na detaljih, odkrivanje ven, ki jih je prej zakrivala stara skorja.

Wiring, wiring, all together 15 hrs of wiring. Branches needed thinning for air and sun to come in.

Žičenje, žičenje, vsega skupaj 15 ur žičenja. Veje je bilo potrebno razredčit, vanje spustiti zrak in sonce.

Cleaning. Applying lime sulfur on dead wood. Cleaning the pot which turn out as nice Tokoname.

Čiščenje. Suh les na novo premazati z apnenim žveplom. Očistiti posodo, ki se je izkazala za lep primerek Tokoname.

Finally top layer of substrate was changed and Pelican is ready for new season!

Še zamenjana vrhnja plast substrata in Pelikan je pripravljen na novo sezono!
