Farmer branches out as bonsai tree sculptor

A sheep farmer is turning old nails and metal bars into tree sculptures on his farm in Herefordshire.

David Powell, who has farmed near Ross-on-Wye for more than 45 years, has always been a fan of bonsai trees.

And when he was given a large number of boxes of nails from a workshop after the death of a family member, he decided to try his hand at creating metal trees.

Now he's started to sell his creations online and at garden and horticultural shows.
