Go ahead and shamelessly link it! You will definitely get some views!

Like what I'm seeing. Can you cut the pot down to the soil line, and can you make sure you uncover as much of the surface roots as possible (without repotting)? It is hard to really understand the design of the tree unless you can see the whole thing from the roots up.

The wiring and branching looks good, but we can't see the trunk or the base.

I caught the nursery walkthrough.

I like that you seem to be aspiring to be CJ man the 3rd!

I remember thinking "boosted bonsai" was going to make people think you're the one thieving shit!

It's pretty clear you have the skills avoid that, though I probably was the only one was ever gonna think that.

@bonsaibp recently posted the thread about the Ben Oki scholarship.
I believe there is a level one must be at in order for that scholarship to actually benefit the entire bonsai community beyond the requirements just after putting it to use.
I feel like you're on that level.

I appreciate the folks that have tried to urge me to apply, but I know I am not the guy who can utilize it to it's greatest value like that. So I'd like to put that urging your way.

Best.

nice bro hope u liked it & idk about that haha but I def want something like it on a much smaller scale u feel me
lmao nah boosted was because I have a boosted (turboed) car but changed my name because I might sell it & won't be boosted anymore ): lol
also I think I saw that Ben Oki one on Facebook & honestly i really appreciate what ur saying forreal bro real shit but I feel really blessed to be studying under some1 now & feel like someone else can maybe use that better than I can u feel me?

I like that low ass branch but the one parallel just above it think would probably swing around to the back and one above that bring down to compliment the low...only thoughts there.
good things
thanks

yeah the branch on the left that's all the way down low is too low will be cut off, then move things accordingly

You can use the money to continue studying with your current teacher no need to change - apply it certainly can't hurt.

Several things:

1. You need to get the rim down on that pot ....and probably dig a little deeper to find where the trunk ends.
2. Copper wire holds movement that aluminum will not allow. (Even thick aluminum. Try it. It will change what's possible.)
3. Copper wire fades into the background and isn't as jarring visually as the black of aluminum. (The black eventually fades and its even MORE jarring.)
4. Your branch angles are all over the place, especially low on the trunk. (See also 1,5)
5. You say you didn't want to trim anything off so you'd have more wiring practice ...but cleaning a tree of unnecessary branches and performing branch selection is part of wiring ...and makes the wiring go faster/easier. (See also, 1,4)
6. I'm all bro'd and fam'd up for a while.

<-- Right here (+~10 seconds) you talk about wanting to wire everything.

Don't pay me too much attention, ...but I don't even know what "we out here tho mayne" even means.
