Update:

Why didn't you just say so. Hehe. http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?3055-First-Trident PM me your address. I assume you'll pay for the shipping?

Just some of my collection I wanted to post as a follow up to my original post. I had a goal and set out to achieve it. Dave

http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?2736-procumbens-nana-1-year-progression Thanks. Make me an offer and it's all yours.

It is ponderosa.

This should be the last of them that I took pictures of. Hope you all enjoy my fantastic photography skills ;-) Dave

A few more for the bench. (Sorry for the sideways pics...If someone were to take the liberty of fixing that...)

Ok, not much response to this one. Yet here we are 5 years later, nonetheless. Let's see how this big "plan" turned out. Dave

Yeah, I had some club members over yesterday and we thinned it out some. I'm hoping to get it defoliated and wired and pruned more this summer. Thanks.

Here goes. Hope this works.

Career change. Nothing to do with off topic forums. Thanks for the interest. I will try to get a shot uploaded soon. Dave

You sift soil? I mix turface, chicken grit, and about 10% anything organic into a big tub. No sifting. This is for anything that is not in a Bonsai pot. Most of your trees should not be in Bonsai pots. For your nice trees. (these are the ones that cost several hundreds of dollars). Buy some...

It was the combo of the dental picks and the pliers that brought me right back to the "mad dentist" scene.

For some reason, I'm reminded of Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors. "to be a dentist...". "feed me seymore"

I think all the workshops and "tinkering" have paid off. That is a tree to be proud of. Dave

Ryan, are there any trees that grow outside in Va? It seems like this is way too much extra work. Besides, you may find in the near future that you're gonna wanna use that bedroom for a different type of biology experiment. Dave P.s. not saying you've done a bad job, but the most...

After reading through all of this, I think we should all ask ourselves one question before posting... wwWHd?

Smoke, I think you're missing the point here. This is still America, where we all get a trophy just for trying. So let's not get our panties in a bunch as we head on over to mamby pamby land to gather by the campfire while we sing kumbaya. Dave

Much better for sure. Can you extend the jin into a bit of shari to blend the living and dead portions? I think that would enhance the image a bit. Dave

Poink is correct. In the case of this tree, remove the dead portion and carve a bit of a hollows at the junction where you have living branches. I would try to wire the rest into a broom style.

So, I went to the new mall expansion in town the otherday, and I saw something that caught my eye. I think this might be a step in the right direction for "mallsai" Dave

If memory serves me, you added a couple nice larch to your collection in the past year as well. Dave

The tree is masculine, the pot choice should reflect that. Both the tree and pot are nice, but may not be the best combination. Dave

Ok, these should provide a better picture.

Vance, No hard feelins' here. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some major back problems and am unable to move this tree by myself. I tried to enlist my girlfriend's help, but had no success. I will certainly post pictures with a less cluttered background as soon as I get some help...
