Dasu Bonsai in Iowa. He has a website and very reasonable prices.Tony Remington scoups are great. He's in England but ships for a reasonable amount.

It is; however, kilns are not.

+1 for Dave at DaSu. His was the first bonsai nursery I ever visited. He makes good pots and stands.

I got one of DaSu's "rock pots" over 15 years ago. Haven't seen one since that is better--unless you count the imported Japanese rock pots made from real stone that cost about a billion $$$ ;-).

How much is a "ton" of cash. I've never seen any that were real expensive. Of course, since I REALLY don't like them, I haven't looked very hard.

I have clay which should be able to harden in air / microwavable, so i'm gonna try that in the near future (i hope it doesn't fall apart).

Here is a 3d-'sketch' what i want to make:

I had more designs but they turned out impossible/ugly.

I tried the air dry clay once too. Easy to work with, not waterproof. Have to use some sort of sealant that's safe for plants.

I don't get the 3-D sketch, are you making it out of little 'bricks'?

 

[Cypress187]

Yeah, sort of wall of a park with stairs leading to it.

Well, a ton of pennies is around $3200...so maybe he can go up to $3k? Bet you got just the one for him, yes?

I have 2 of the dasu crescents.
They are very well made.
I enjoy ikers also<------ big fan

Lorax,

I don't see a location in your profile, but this guy just posted some home made crescent pots on Philly's Craigslist.
