Good peeps on here, Good peeps.

It will make it look older
Darn it! I was hoping that I could get away with the nebari being bit lacking, I was hoping that the AMAZING movement in the trunk would be interesting enough, but your point is great Rowdy,
Jozaeh
thanks Cre8ivbonsai. it's always so hard to leave a tree one more season to thickin up the trunk, I want to put the tree on show NOW!! And yep, i've enrolled in a chainsaw masters course so I can do some delicate carving in the little girl. oh everyone's ideas are great!

Do not forget to Spade around the roots to cut them off to develop finer roots shooting back near the trunk
Let us all know when you are going to dig. That way we can all come and watch you while we sit back with a beer
or 20 and laugh
Ken
Darn it kcpoole, you better not steal my idea with an ambar of your own for the shohin comp! (seriously this one made me laugh OUT LOUD).
And i only have a teaspoon for the dig, it's a good teaspoon though! So bring 20 or more beers like you said, i should have it out in under 320 hours....

I am awesome at trunk chops, if you look at my avatar
I get a bit hungry when doing them and I am prone to eating the new shoots as well, so you may have to protect the new shoots if I come around for the trunk work. Oh I dig up the roots sometimes as well, jeez I am a bugger for that stuff.
Regards Panda
Wow! Why didn't I come to you first! I mean I knew your speciality was bamboo, but your work shows for itself! I'll make sure to have some bamboo shoots on hand to distract you from eating the ambar's shoots. thanks for the offer for help, i'll definately call the tokyo zoo to see when I can come pick you up.

Sorry but I don't like the lack of taper or nebari. I think you could do better and should look at options down the street.
Tony
Oh tony, always such wisdom. I was afraid of that. I'm hoping that the new leader should introduce some taper over the next 60 years, I'll let you know how it goes in 2070. Or maybe let your grandchildren know through my grandchildren? We may both be gone by then. But hey, at least we learn patience!

Oh skip yes! I was going to contract Erin pottery to make one for me, but they said some pots are just too small to even bother with. Thanks!

I just emailed mount franklin, they're working on it, I should have one this week.

Cheers, Dario.
Ok now Dario, either you're serious, or you're double sarcastic-ing me SO well! I couldn't tell! Thanks for the comment,

i have a backhoe for bending the trunk
and you would want to start wiring
before the branches get to brittle
and also dont forget to defoliate to reduce leaf size
cheers dean
Oh dean, such good advice, I've grabbed a steel pipe bender from my mate's workshop, and I'll be using some fencing piping for the wire. She'll be shaped in no time! And darn leaf reduction, we have to work hard for our masterpieces don't we! I'm onto it.
