Lovely tree progression! Now as the choosing the front, I must say this is premature. I would let this grow on for at least three years to get some decent nebari. Then choosing the front will be much more relevant. Thanks for sharing Rob

Nice job. I'm wondering, if you have a lot of top growth going on now? Just wondering, because I thought you need a good amount of top growth to 'feed' new roots into the growing medium. Curious.... Anyway, hoping for the best for you, Rob

Hi Carlos, Nice pots! I really enjoy looking at the blue mingling with the orange in the third piece.:) Thanks for sharing! Rob

To piggy back on what yenling83 said, Boon's repotting video is well worth buying. As a potter, I now know the importance of putting drainage holes in my pots, and where to place them. Plus, there are many steps to repotting that I am always forgetting. His videos are top notch...;)

Very interesting material. For my two cents, I would split him in half too. I would love to see where you take this guy! Rob

What can I say. I love making ovals! This glaze worked out nice, albeit a bit on the runny side.... Thanks for letting me share:)

Now for some recent stuff. This medium sized oval has a bit of textured patterning coming up through the glaze...

Here is a scalloped round with a rope pattern. Also from this summer....

A small feminine oval.....

Whew, it has been a stretch.... Anyway, here are some pieces you guys may have missed. Here is an oval from this summer...

Sara's pots are truly top notch. She is to American bonsai pottery as Dan Barton is in the UK. A true pioneer...:)

Harry, I don't suppose that you are going to tell us whom that might be? I was going along with Rick too about it not being necessary, but now my curiousity piqued.:p Rob

Well then, I guess I should make some unglazed and stained pieces for conifers...;) Thanks again, Rob

This is a great tree. The pot is nice too. The blue compliments the tan trunk nicely. Do you know if the pot is handmade? Rob

Thanks for the kind words Harry! BTW, what do you mean by D trees?

Sometimes; I am constantly searching for the best technique...:) Rob

This one has a strait profile with a chrome green glaze and a textured stain on the bottom. http://bonsainut.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8234&stc=1&d=1251544342 Any feedback or questions are welcome.

Here is another geometric pot. This is a large octagonal rectangle... Planning out the dimensions for these pots is always a challenge. I probably wouldn't be able to figure out all the special ^(*)*&__)(!#%$#^^%$ (math) without the help of my wife, who teaches honors...

Here are some geometric pieces from my last round. I posted these on my blog so they may or may not be new to yew (sorry couldn't resist:p) Here is a hexagonal piece in a groggy brown clay with a satin glaze:

Francis, Its ok, it was during my lunch break...;) BTW, that trip to jim smiths nursery was great. I still can't get over the quality and quantity of such awesome material:eek: Rob

Here is a better pic of the same pot.

Here is a fun rectangle with a white crackle glaze...:)

This is from a last month. I haven't been posting here in a while. This forum is not too Mac friendly so I am sending from my pc at work. A copper oval in the Chinese classical style.

I am curious Victrina. My guess is either through the use of a caustic dip of some sort or by sand blasting. IMHO, I wouldn't do anything this drastic for this particular pot. I would probably keep it until the right tree came along too...
