Just wanted to show a little progress.
Have not been able to source a good log to make a shrinking stump yet, but I made myself some tucking forks and they've been most helpful.
I haven't really spent any time in the middle portion I took a break from that and started to make the front section. I put tucks in it and then just shrunk it on the floor.
