Last night I was working on a cedar with a friend in a one 2 one session. This tree was originally a garden centre tree chopped down to create the basic structure required to make a bonsai. It was sold by the original owner to Willowbog Bonsai and in turn sold to my friend. It has been worked on at a few workshops here over the last 2 years, getting deadwood created etc, but now was the time to get it wired and into shape.

Cut back after shari added
and now before work starts
And this is it now after last nights work. Not fine wired but starting to come together nicely. Shots from each side, a few close ups and a beer can for scale, also drunk on the night 🙂
And all together for comparison

Keen for a pot in the Spring, he’s going to chat with you in October about getting one. The tree will be here for you to look at and size up for the pot. Any suggestions for a few virtuals?

Fantastic example of a species I think EVERY bonsai enthusiast loves but few work with or get right. They scare most but if you get them right you can create wonderful images. This really is a great tree Ian.
