This is a second and longer blog page for the demos as I have kindly been given some pictures by Bryan at http://welshbonsaitrees.wordpress.com/
All pictures are courtesy of Bryan.
This was Ryan’s yew he was tasked with it had a very straight lower trunk that will always be a problem in the future without some attention at a later date.
After a couple of hours and a bit of a mishap with a loud crack a bonsai image emerged.
Salvatori had a simple design choice on his collected scots pine.
A pleasing image was created with the help of the owner, think he would have been happy I would have been.
Seok Ju Kim was given a larger job it had an obvious design in it but would take some big bending to achieve it.
Having built a frame of heavy anchoring bars all manner of gadgets were used to compact it.
In time I would like to see it compacted further but a powerful tree emerged.
Below are some general shots and some pictures of the Saturday demos. My fav of those was the sabina that Salvatori created.
Thank you again Bryan for sending me your pictures.
More on the show to come.
Nice one 😉
