Larch - Jacob yamadori

Hi all friends

The Larch on one trip he found Jacob. The trunk was on the ground run over by a tractor.
The first styling, I tried to do the base of the tree and make the most interesting branches.

Nice find Kuba! I suggest you call this tree 'Roadkill'.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the 'peeled away' branch develops, Pavel. An interesting technique!

Pavel,

Are these new photos? Did you just do this?

I'm asking because, to me, it seems like this would be safer to do in the spring just as it begins to come out of dormancy. I'd be afraid to do this now at the beginning of winter, but my climate is probably very different than yours - and I'll never have a larch bonsai work on! My maples are still green.

Hi Steve, thank you for nice replies and compliment for Jacob.

Hi Russell, thank you for nice coment. Yes you are right, photos are from last year. Such intervention is not a problem, but it is better in the growing season. This was the beginning of Oktober last year.

Pavel

Hi all.

Wow! What a transformation. I didn't see that one coming. You always find the best tree inside your raw material, Pavel.

MAN,, What a nice tree you have developed from the begining of what you had..great job on this one...wish i had that talent....take care john

Ok, I must admit.. When I saw the first picture of the tree after collect.. I was thinking, "What a waste of time."
But you keep impressing me. Very nice result!

That was exactly my reaction!!! Well, mine actually started with "HOLY SH#T" rather than "wow". Now let's see you put that puppy in a pot!

Wow this is one of the most amazing transformation of a wounded tree to a pretty amazing bonsai. Please post pictures of it in the spring!

Great work Pavel, good transformation of decidedly poor material.

OK IBC... hands up those that wish they had made the effort to come to Burrs

Hi Steve, John, Storm, Russell, Neil and Tony.

Thank you all friends for a very nice words and compliment. I really appreciate it and am very happy. Further development will of course document. Does anyone have any idea what the pot ?

Gretings Pavel

Beautiful work Pavel from, as Tony pointed out, quite poor material.
I can't wait to see the latest image "in laef" in the New Year.
Thanks for Sharing,
Regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the nice comment and complimennt.
I also look forward to developments in the spring. I guess I'll have to spring to remove several branches, would be too dense crown. The branches have a lot of strong buds, which means a lot of energy. In the spring the tree will have a lot of power.

Pavel

Very nice Pavel,
I have not yet seen a tree that you styled that I did not adore!




Andrew

I have not yet seen a tree that you styled that I did not adore!

I second that!

Pavel is single handedly changing perceptions of just what constitutes 'good raw material.' Oh, to see the world through eyes such as his.

Hi! All

Pavel Nice shot!
And yes that is bonsai,...and a keen eye!

No offence,...this ain't nothing to do with Burrs or any location.

This is some one who discovers a tree from within.
And one who sees possibilities in a tree!

The most simple trees are in future so-called Bonsai....

Sweet child,.....in time...patiance...good folk!

Edit " you made this bonsai nutter drag in a tree in the middle of the night!''

GOOD THING!

Did i mention music,...ahhh good work pavel!

Grtzz from Holland....where i'd say construction!

WOW
I wish you're just a minute away from our house
Hope someday i'll also have the ability to see the very best we can make out of a "simple tree"

Respect

Hi Shimsuki, Steve, littleart-fx and hirow08

Thank you very much for yours nice replies and compliments.

Gretings Pavel

Ridiculous! What a transformation!!! This is true creation. Most times you see the "masters" doing some incredible stylings albeit with equally incredible material. Pavel did this with fairly poor material at best! Fantastic job indeed!!

Hi Mach5 - thank you very much for very nice compliment. I appreciate it.

Pavel

Hi Pavel, I have a few years ago a bad larch material. From the ugly duck became a swan.

Hi Karl, Yes, your Larch has a beautiful beginning of movement. Really beautiful tree.

Pavel

Now we have 2 silk purses from a cows ear! love these 2 tree's,nice work Pavel and Karl

Hi! Karl!

I have seen the transformation before,....
Thanx for the quote!

Wouldn't do any good on the Dutch forum,....tough,.....HAHA!

@ Pavel...

How are you going to solve the wound on the right with the new wound on the left at the same hight?
Callus is growing to be mad i suppose,...?

For now it gives disturbance on sight,....or am i lurking for opinion?
well that is not my goal,...just currious....

Grtzz Machiel,....who is letting his girl in this weekend
