fig on work stand

Post by bonsaiboy50 »

Have been working on this fig today, trimming and shaping. Thought you guys would like to see my portable work bench. It is an old projector stand, it is very light and portable as well as being very stable.

Beautiful fig bonsaiboy. Very well done. Have you developed this yourself.

Thanks dansai and yes I have developed it myself. All off my bonsai are my own work. I prefer to have trees that I have worked on myself as apposed to buying ready made or having someone to style it for me. That's just my opinion :2c: :2c: . I collected this tree from a local dam site when doing some survey work there. The whole area is now under water which is a shame as there were many great figs there.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

No Jarad, It does not spin around. You just have to do it the old way and walk around it .

I can't wait till I buy a house with a yard, then I would be able to have a setup like yours, feeling the grass against the bottoms of my feet while working on a tree.
