Hi Antonio

Great work mate, I was good when you finished the 1st styling with Marco & even better after Hiro. Did that branch survive that snaped when Ben gave you hand or was it cut of.

Cheers

I agree its a nice tree, but I still don't agree taking it to two master grade international artists and allowing one to change the original style so early in development.
But that's just my opinion.
Young and hostile but not stupid.

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for the info. If you cannot find a suitable pot, then it certainly
deserves a customised one.

I feel that the quantity alone does not do anything for one's satisfactions.
Having styled a few good bonsais for oneself is so satisfied.

I am green with envy here :)) I do not any decent juniper. You have one and
Aaron has one :)

(It was sad that Mr. Paul Sweeney left. In the last months he was still a
proprietor, he stocked a lot of signed Japanese pots. He had more of used
signed pots in the tin shed :). He said he left to do advanced bonsai. But
I do not know if he opens to public somewhere?)

Best regards.

today he has finally been potted. once recovered he will go into refinement. styling will need adjusting after the new palnting angle with more deadwood to come. till next year. :D

Yes, very nice Ant. I like a tree with a lot of deadwood to enhance it. I know it is hard to get a sense of proportion's on computers so i am guessing its height at 300mm or is it smaller? Pot suits it by the way.

thanks bodhi, yes its about 300mm to the top of the deadwood. the pot still needs to get down to the next size. next year i will kill off more branches and do shari work. ;) :D

jamie and nathan thanks, this tree was an important lesson in reducing height, the rest was just patience and hard work. thanks to HIRO! :D

jezza, his name is THOR the god of thunder. 8-)
