Flat top BC

[Stimmie1]

I am looking for information on the creation of Flat top Bald Cypress. I have not found any articles on how to create them. Can any of you direct me where to look?

Also, I would like any site that has guidelines and diagrams of how to properly sharpen Bonsai Tools.
Sincerely,

From the master of the style:

And from his disciple:

http://books.google.com/books?id=E_...nepage&q=flat top bald cypress bonsai&f=false


And a couple of vids:

A Google for "Sharpening bonsai tools" will get you the rest.

Hope this helps
