Nice starting material.

What kind of wire did you use? It doesn't look like copper or aluminium...

Looks of craft store brass.

Nice start for sure!

That's what I think, too.

If it is, BonsaiButler should be careful that it doesn't bite into the bark because removing it will be much more difficult...

I really like crabapples, going to work with more of them in the future I think. Thanks for posting this little guy.

Nice little tree! This is about one variety of tree I don't have, yet want and can't find a nice specimen.

I know the wire looks funny, its anodized aluminum wire from The dollar store.
