Treeman,
Thank you for sharing - I think its stunning - whether you like pads or not on this tree they would detract - just my thoughts

Re: straight trunk juniper
I seem to be having a lot of trouble loading pics using the AB function. All I get is ''delete file'' and no ''place in line'' with some of them. Anyone else??
Also, how do you delete the 2 stuff ups below?
3rd working...
Still keeping and wiring all the branches. Later down the road when the time comes to remove some, I will have jinns with the correct attitude and ''feel''. (ie old). At least that's the idea....

Re: straight trunk juniper
You will probably find those with "delete file" are over the 500K size limit

Re: straight trunk juniper
I had the same problem and downloaded an app called “compress”.
It’s minimised the sizing and lets me post first time every time.

Re: straight trunk juniper
Don't think so. I have always reduced size by 50% before loading and it has always worked fine.

Re: straight trunk juniper
Mr treeman,
Tree is looking good - How are you creating your jin and shari - are you using power tools or more traditional hand tools such as wood chisels? (asking for a friend )

Re: straight trunk juniper
Congratulations on your patience and skill!
We don't often get to see good formal uprights, probably because they are rarely present in individual collections. This style used to be the ideal in Japan before WWII, after which the informal upright became the most popular one, because so many bonsai and so much stock were destroyed during the war. Bonsaiists made do with what they could find. The informal upright is still the most widespread style - it's one that always gets you out of trouble, with "anything goes" as long as you have a mildly artistic bone in your body.

Re: straight trunk juniper
Used power tool - because of laziness - but will finish off by hand. Hand craving is always best.Keep Calm and Ramify wrote: ↑September 9th, 2019, 5:02 pm Mr treeman,

Re: straight trunk juniper
Beautiful Tree.....Man
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
