Finished up this little weekend project. Wife said corner cabinet, I said tokonoma. Currently sporting a newly styled hinoki.
This tree is very special to me. Little shaggy, but not bad for a first styling. Cultivar Reis dwarf. It was a gift from my bonsai buddy, MJ, over at Timberwinds in STL. When he brought it into the nursery, we were both in awe at the grotesqueness of it. Base like an onion. Was also bursting out of it's one gallon. We aptly named it Ogre - like an onion with many layers lol. Despite it's formidable base, it has very natural and graceful movement all the way to the apex. Almost none of that is wired, but one heavy gauge to move it slightly above the best front.
Really thrilled with this usual little hinoki, and can't wait for spring to get it out of it's decaying one gallon nursery pot. I'm sure I'll start its own thread soon enough. Been meaning to post updates on my projects, just haven't gotten around to it...
Special tree deserves a special pot.. Maybe @sorce can help me out with that?
