There are a lot of bonsai videos on You Tube, but very few show as good a demo job as Graham Potter does on this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrk0T4_5 ... re=related
For those who start a shohin with the stump of a cut-down tree, I think Graham's carving and styling are an inspiration.

Re: Shohin video
Thankyou Lisa - that really gets the mind ticking on some other projects that could be undertaken in the coming months, taking ordinary middle size bonsai to dynamic shohin?

Great idea. I must say that chunky shohin with good deadwood and yet with elegant branching are my favourites.by Watto » Yesterday, 20:50

They suggest ancient trees and beauty, i.e. the best of bonsai. A 'tour de force' in such small trees!
