Maybe a little tighter, but I don't know how much more you could have gone before it would break.
Not sure, but here's one I wrote:
Grafting as a Bonsai Tool

P.S. I also have some intermediate pics with a closer view of the wiring on the blog post.
Hey Chris-
What I know about pines wouldn't keep a betta in food for 5 minutes soooooooooo
But, it seems that the one coil is out of proportion to the rest. No offense but I can't make head or tails outta this fella, so, in one of the pictures there's a big coil with a stub sticking out of it to going down and right (future jin?). I wanted to reach in and compress that coil a bit. But, it looks like you compressed that pine about as far as its going this year .
Wow that kind of shut things down here. Did anyone look at the last pics? Do you think the coils could be tighter, or should be looser, or what?
Chris
Hey guys,maybe he's deliberately trying to create a grotesque looking tree.If that's the case,then he's off to a great start!
My sister,who knows nothing about bonsai,came by recently,and I showed her my trees.She said "They're okay,but they look like real trees.I like the ones that are weird looking,like a science fiction landscape."
My honest Answer to this question is,,,
Chris,, and a few of you others,, playing pile-on to Will when he asked for advice on a Mugo Pine he put on a thread?
And didn't this thread go all the ways of the wind, except the way it was intentionally expected to go (LIKE GIVING A REASONABLY GOOD OPINION) of his tree? I recall it got all hell-bent on a dog-pile
on Will, (Not to excuse Will, and his sometimes self-righteous ways of plugging his web sites) but I felt this was in ways insulting. So if i say insulting things (not that I would) about this material would i be out of line? (think about it)
But,,,, in my opinion if its worth a cent,, I'd give this material a go!!!
Try it,,, bonsai isn't a art about ,,,"TIME" vs "Pleasure" even though in our world has been becoming a Burger King Society. have it My way,,, and NOW!
Some things we are for other generations to finish...
Some of my trees will never be presentable in my lifetime,, but i will continue to work on those with the same constitution as I do with my other trees that give faster results.
Best of to you in your endeavors,,,
Sincerely
Kevin J

on Will,
What insulting things? Perhaps you are speaking of the "censorship" thread (http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1803)? What are you trying to say?(Not to excuse Will, and his sometimes self-righteous ways of plugging his web sites) but I felt this was in ways insulting. So if i say insulting things (not that I would) about this material would i be out of line? (think about it)
This last bit I am in total agreement with. So I haven't been offended by anyone's comments, even though a couple puzzled me.But,,,, in my opinion if its worth a cent,, I'd give this material a go!!!

, the trunk was swelling nicely. The biggest problem with this tree is that the base is so small and the curves are significantly larger. I can try to make the base larger in .
I can score it somehow and allow it to swell. I'd probably use wire for this purpose.
