Originally from David Benevente's garden. This sylvestris lost its way health wise but it recovered well with Davids support.</p><p>Because it had just been allowed to grow, there where many branches with whorls of shoots. I more or less pruned it back and selected for bifurcation. </p><p>I tried to keep it as true to Davids original styling but had to make space for light to reach the lowest branch as its under the canopy.

Originally this tree was presented as a very nice and unusual semi cascade tree. It was purchased and the new owner decided to change it to informal upright.<br />It was then sold on again in quite poor condition and has spent last year regaining health.<br />Looking at the trunk line I felt there was a more dynamic tree within. The previous design had an almost static appearance with a right left bias. I felt the tree going the other way.<br />I have just set the bones at the moment and as the foliage settles down in a year or two, more separation and definition will be possible.<br />

I'm guessing it was field grown and to get it sizeable enough for sale, sacrificial branches were allowed to extend to thicken the trunk. On the downside this leaves a lot of unsightly flat cuts and a little dieback. I was asked to make the cuts a ltitle mere like natural deadwood. This is quite often seen on old Cherry varieties.<br />

Last weekend my good friend Simon Haddon came up for the weekend and we spent Saturday refining the deadwood and restyling an Elm tree. This is my third time working on this tree and it has grown well in his care. The first pic is how it was finished after I used it to demo at the Maidstone bonsai club.<br />

<br />
The tree had it's second working at Burrs 2013. The tree was block carved and rewired. Last Saturday we gave it a good prune and I refined the carving. The orientation and a new front were also chosen. Simon working on the tree.<br />

The carving was refined<br />

<br />
Then the tree was restyled. Although the deadwood is now the focus of this tree, I do not usually advocate this in deciduous trees as the deadwood is transient and will not last like junipers or Pines with a high resin content. This tree does however have excellent movement and the hollow will make an excellent feature also.<br />

I arrived on the Friday lunchtime and we worked on a couple of Simons trees. Si is very kind hearted and offered me a couple of stuunning Blackthorns. As a thankyou and as Si also had a big connection with Steve (Harleyrider) Jackson, I thought it fitting that he took over Steve's tree. We spent an hour or so working on the flat cuts<br />

I chose it because at the time it was very straight and had little taper. I wanted it for a club demo to show that something could be made from nothing.<br />
Since then it has sat on my benches and has just been clipped and grown. Today (March 23) I wanted to improve the carving as it is very flat and I want a hollow twisted tree<br />

Dog walkers, joggers and families enjoy this wooded area down near the Estuary. Most people don't see him down there. This gracious old man stands on his own as most walk under his arms oblivious to his magnificence. A few visit from time to time and spend a while in quiet contemplation. Walk around his body and wonder how long he has been there. How long he will be there. The stories this old Oak could tell.<br />

Huge inspirationA year or two after starting bonsai, I was introduced to Kevin Willson and spent time at his School on workshops and on rainy days when I couldn't work. Kev has some pretty amazing Bonsai and material material but the first tree to really grab me and what I mean by that is shivers down the spine was a fairly diminutive little Taxus. Every visit this tree was the first I would look at. The way the deadwood seemed to spew from the trunk was awe inspiring.<br />
Unfortunately the Yew was sold abroad and from what I have seen has never looked as good as it did when Kev had it in his garden. I trawled the internet to find pictures of the "Little Dragon but to no avail. Fortunately Kevs assistant and long time friend, Richard Chambers came to the rescue with an older Ginkgo Awards book so I could get it on canvas.<br />

I have made time to paint a picture during the particularly wet Winter we are having. Work in progress and homage to my very nice Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) that died last year after the long cold spell we had. Acrylic on canvas and 3 ft x 3 ft (1m x 1m approx) I will update with detailed pics when finished.<br />

<br />
Day 3. Sunday and we all met at Mirek's for second breakfast. This consisted of a feast of different hams, eggs and assorted goodies. Also on the menu was a platter of traditionally cooked Lamb on the bone that had been freshly slaughtered and we could still hear them being killed as we tucked into it. Delicious!!!.<br />
<img height="480" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1240172_587405277964417_586645374_n.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Thoroughly stuffed, it was time to get the creative juices flowing.<br />
Mirek asked me to work on some cut stubbs on a very feminine Mugo. One of my favourites in his collection I might add.<br />

Pavel's Mugo. Day 2On the Friday Pavel had asked me to work on his large and very old Mugo Pine. The main area for work was a large reduced branch on the right. This is the tree.<br />

I asked Pavel what he wanted from the carving. His only request was to preserve areas of the old bark. Even though it is dead, it will persist for many years. I marked the stump with chalk to work from.</div>

Day OneA couple of weeks ago, I was invited to visit Pavel Slovak and Mirek Skrabal for a few days. 4 days in all but 3 days of work with plenty of eating and bonsai talk. I had a fantastic time and am looking forward to going back again next year. Everyone was so generous and hospitable. I arrived early on the Thursday to be met by Pavel and Jakub at the airport.<br />

I arrived Friday evening, went out for a meal and then shared a few ciders chatting with Simon into the early hours. Satrday was spent on some of Simons trees. The following trees are just some of his collection. Mostly Shohin and Chuhin and a few larger trees.<br />

First workshop was Sunday with 9 students and Monday we had 8. We discussed everyone's trees as a group before commencing work. Most of the students had never really used power tools before so I made a start on each tree and then with guidance, each student carved their own tree. We went through safe ways to carve and which bits to perform specific tasks. This is a much better way to learn and gain confidence with the tools.</div>

The club demo on the Monday. All the carved material was exhibited and a few were discussed. Members from the Wirral club came down for the demo and were amazed at the quality of the carving that had been carried out by beginners. I was really proud of them. This Blackthorn is going to be a top class tree in the future. Beautiful muvement in the trunk and amazing bark quality too What needed to be done was carve the straight cut branches to create some movement and age to them. This was all done with the Dremmel</div>

A weekend of carving workshops run by the very talented and enthusiastic Simon Jones. Simon very kindly gave me a little Privet in a Walsall pot to take home with me. It was collected from a neighbours hedge last year and potted immediately in this cascade pot.<br />

I thought a slight increase in angle would reveal a better line in the trunk and by rotating forward slightly would show better movement. The natural shari is a great feature but it is a bit fat in places.<br />

Although it is getting late in the year now, there is still time for growing. I decided to leaf prune to access and see how I could improve the lines. There were too many shoots and these were pruned out and the remainder were cut back to promote new shoots closer in to the trunk<br />

Two shari's were added to reduce the visual weight at the end and create more movement. The live wood is still too wide but as the tree callouses, the live will be cut back again to give the appearance of natural die back. </div>

Once the new deadwood has seasoned I will add some delicate carving. I will keep it simple and let the weather do most of the work. It is more to do with the cut stubs where the tree was reduced.</div>

I was attracted to it by the movement it had throughout. A lot of Taxus have straight and rather difficult to bend sections. It had not been collected for long but was extending well. All I did was feed well for the rest of the year.<br />

I like the idea of a semi cascade style tree but didn't want to create another green triangle amongst a whole load of deadwood. The other thing that bothered me was the lazy s shape in the trunk<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

By turning the tree away some more, the curve was tightened. I also rotated the tree bringing the deadwood branch more over the top of the tree.<br />

All the older leaves were removed. this helps with wiring and also aids back budding. The whole tree was then wired<br />

Before styling I refined some deadwood areas that had already been block carved<br />

Now on it's way to becoming a bonsai. I always intended on the three canopies and the top one will eventually gel more with the rest of the foliage. I could have gone with a much smaller tree but felt this design was more individual and feminine but still with plenty of power and dynamism.<br />

The top was completely flat and some branches were very thick, the foliage was a long way out and it needed direction. Here are some before pictures of Chris's Pine. The old front.<br />

A very thick branch in the centre of the tree was split and bent to add character to the branch as it was fat and straight. Splitting and bending also helped to shorten the branch visually.<br />
