Sunken Tree 26T

i painted the back and glued the tree together. The pieces off to the right were actully coming off the back and when i trimmed then to fit in the tank they looked good off to the side. I am planing of covering the splits with moss. I also was able to take about and inch and a half off the bottom so now it sits flater and looks a little more real.

Comment by Pasterfield on November 17, 2014 at 8:40pm: Thanks. i counted the rings and it is about 60 years old. I added the dirt and capped with pool fiter sand. I weighted the tree with some concrete, but looks like i am going to need about 8-10 more pounds to really stop it from floating. I am going to drill into the bottom of the long root and add some lead shoot and cap it with some more concrete.
