This is my first thread about doing a DIY project. Although i have done a few with different things.
I had a quick look online and i couldn't find much on the topic of making a tree trunk/roots (besides ones that are built into a 3D background). If anyone knows of a site or if anyone here has done it before some help would be great!
I've never attempted this kind of thing before so you guys will be the first to see my fails and triumphs and i will post along the way so if you ever go on to try it you will know what works and what doesn't.
My reason for trying this is i know driftwood can be expensive for large pieces like this and didn't want to fork out $100+ on wood plus i don't like the look of tannins in the water.
So here are some pics from today's work. Just waiting for the glue to dry before i do any major sculpting. This piece is about 70cm tall and 50cm wide to give you an idea

Wanted to give you a good 3d look at it as its hard to tell with Styrofoam being all white.
