While driftwood is an attractive medium to use, it is not used traditionally in bonsai. but I liked the subject though and the work done. He said "the resulting texture is very, very natural" and I thought he was actually not going to use power tools or the flame thrower for once. It would have been nice to see that rough texture stay on the driftwood.

@gsmp93 When you see a "Natural Bonsai" or even just a "little battler" hanging onto life in the guttering of a 10 story unit block or the side of a rocky cliff, then you appreciate and respect the power of Mother Nature. GET TO THE POINT you say...What dose a Bonsai lover look like? ME,YOU? LOL...Yes! Hanging upside down up to 50m high from the roof replacing old gutter started my Bonsai hobby. TAKE NOTE: Old gutters can hold 'ready to go' Bonsai. ALL THE BEST MATE.

@tmac20031 when the bark is removed and the trunk is bleached

[MrBrakke07]

@sharkfin154 with what is the trunk bleached?

[sharkfin154]

@MrBrakke07 its called lime sulfure and it is used by just painting it on the parts that are dead that you want to be deadwood, you can also dilued it into water and use it as an insectiside

wow, really enjoying your videos, love the music as well. i have a juniper hedge in my backgarden and its funny to see a juniper bonsai, ive never seen one before but im so used to seeing the juniper leaves from the hedge when we cut it. if i was dealing with a bonsai this size i would be so worried that im going to mess it up, but you seem to know exactly what your doing - when you start out do you imagine the bonsai as a blank canvas and get your own image of what you want it to be?

[8497289]

once you expose the trunk line (or look at it through the branches) you're aiming for the heaviest branch to be about a third of the way up the trunk, then getting gradually more delicate towards the apex. sometimes you do mess it up, but exposing the best branches that work with the trunk line is a good approach, then you can wire the branches to be more graceful.

Hello,

is this a Sabina (blue forest) Juniper variety because I cannot quite make out the variety your saying, not your fault I don't think, it's my cheap and nasty ear phones. Any idea how old it is?

Thanks for another great video

[chasnsx]

Beautiful work, Graham. My only complaint is that the deadwood almost completely obscures the tree's lifeline. It seems that you just see a small peek at the lifeline in the tachiagari.
