His you tube videos are outstanding.
High quality, informative and no boring bits (other than the carving tools) :lol:
If you have not looked at them you should do yourself a favour.

yes one of my favs, he was taught by kevin wilson many years ago, the styling and his creativity is 2nd to none i believe, look at his videos if you havent already. the only down fall is that most of the trees he demostrates are over seas trees, collected mountain trees etc . other than that very talented.

Any chance that some highly computer literate people can provide some hyperlinks to good sites or live links to to good quality demos? I really don't know where to start looking but think it'd be terrific to see great talent working!

There may even be a page dedicated to this somewhere on AusBonsai.... :reading:

Help.....
