what is that white stone he's using to cut the angles in the cion? almost looks like a really soft cutting block?

[cbobgo]

it is just a piece of a plastic cutting board that he holds the stock against while making the cut. You can use anything - it just keeps the knife from going into your leg if you slip :-)

when you graft a branch how long till you remove the ribbon??

[cbobgo]

usually a year or two - there is more info about this on my old blog.

I'm wondering can I grow a bonsai in the Tropics, because I live in Jamaica and I'm wondering what trees can be used too.

The commonest pine grafts are Japanese white pine scion to Japanese black pine rootstock, and cork bark Japanese black pine to Japanese black pine rootstock. Less common are Japanese red pine foliage to Japanese black pine rootstock, and my favorite, where John Naka grafted Japanese black pine foliage to Canary Island pine rootstock. I saw the John Naka tree in person, more years ago than I care to admit.

kinda the cutting will fuse with the actual tree he used and form new growth out of the cutting
