Ruben Bouwmeester · Jun 16, 2018

At the end off 2016 a came across a bunch of seed grown jbp. There was one that i really liked.
Pines are just like people: white, black, red, yellow, brown, thin, fat, tall, small. Name it: there is a person on this planet that looks like that.

This tree i'm styling together with Yannick Kiggen.

Leaf Killers!!!

I really like this one.

Looks like loads of fun. I might attend a few of Yannick's courses myself in the future. He seems to know what he's talking about.

Another thing, do you add sphagnum moss to your teabags or is that all fertilzer?

Yannick is good and a nice guy, you can learn a lot from him. Yes i'm adding sphagnum together with this product. https://www.bonsaiplaza.com/nl/matsu-abrakas.html
Sphagnum keeps moist to the fertilizer so it ferments better.

Nice work ruben !
Realy improved now the straight section in the top is now a not so straight section anymore!

Ruben Bouwmeester · Jun 23, 2018

The top have to a little bit more forward then the trunk line is done.

One step at a time right!

Great work! It looks larger than I was expecting, beauty tree!

Had a really nice workshop with Will Baddeley yesterday, Did some carving on this one. I know black pine and deadwood is not common in Japan.

Hoping too get I wired before Monday when Yannick is coming too my place.

Great deadwood work! I love dead wood on all pines, to me it looks great!

GGB · Oct 30, 2019

Gotta love a pine from seed. Not a boring section on that trunk. Hoping the nebari was as well planned as the trunk. I'd be psyched to see that tree on my bench everyday

Ruben Bouwmeester · Oct 30, 2019

Thanks Wilson and GGB. Spring 2021 I'll put it in a bonsai pot. Somebody a suggestion?
I'm thinking about a nanban or a drum unglazed.

Done for this year.

Looks great! how did you get the first right branch down. Did you crack it? and have you filled it in?

Woocash · Nov 6, 2019

That’s some nice realistic deadwood there, which really does help to sell the idea. Lovely tree.

It was already in that position, thanks too Mother Nature.
