You could make a cement pot that would be serviceable but still heavy. See the one I made in the post about moss. The pot is going on 10 years and developing a nice patina.

I would probably do the same...
You could always find a nice but not too expensive pot,,,but a nice tree like that won't come again.
I you diced it it's gone,,,if you made a concrete pot that you don't like you can always make a new one again.

Thanks Will
Feeding more and ensuring they don't dry out is the advice I had received and it sounds like you are heading down much the same track so I will continue implementing this.

you showed me yours ill show you mine
Hi Will, Bob Hill from Dragon Bonsai, well what can i say, as always from your comments and photos is a real indication of your love for this wonderful art form. I like to try my hand at a bit of carving work but nothing as impressive as what you have shown us here. I never seem to get down to the real nitty gritty detailing side of things, just the blocking out stage as they call it. After seeing what you have achieved here from your photos, really makes me want to have a go. The deadwood work on the Elm is so convincing, its fantastic, and like others, i also thought it was natural, which makes it a real credit to you. Well done and keep up the good work Bob H.

Hello Bob. Thankyou for your kind words and encouragement. I have had an idea in the back of my mind to do a carving tutorial with photos and post on the IBC. I have to order some carving tools to replace the ones lost or worn and then I will get to work. I will try and find a relatively boring piece of material that would be in everybody's price range.

Re: You showed me yours, I'll show you mine!
Hi Will - there are some very fine small trees - I understand why you want to split them up. One don't realy see every tree when in a group like this, I think they deserve a pot each - looking forward to seeing them when you have done it.

Re: You showed me yours, I'll show you mine!
Hello Lone. Having spent some time "tidying" the group up today, I am having second thoughts. It is unusual but then they would be so as individuals. I have a while to think about it.

Re: You showed me yours, I'll show you mine!
Hello Sam. This composition is not a raft. it was originally two rafts along the lines of the raft at the beginning of this thread but they weren't very interesting. A year after collecting, I cut them into individuals, bought some Ketotsuchi and built the hills up, adding the trees as I went.

Re: You showed me yours, I'll show you mine!
Will, your trees and carvings are amazing. I don't show my wife many pictures of bonsai, cause i feel that she just glances at them anyways. When i showed her your elm from the Nolanders she said "it reminds me of holloween, and a tree in a graveyard" i was thrilled. She never takes the time to look at pictures and your tree let her imagination run wild, and i thank you for that. I would be thrilled to view a carving tutorial by you as your carvings are so very real looking.
Thank you,
Neil

Echo the three prior responses....yes please on the carving tutorial!

I think the best way to start a tutorial, is by starting a new thread. General discussion and off topic banter would be good. What I want is as many clear photos of problem areas as possible. I can then make a folder up and store the pics until I have the suitable material. Overly large roots, branches, trunk chops, Lowland decay, mountain weathering, deep hollowing, delicate refinement etc. I also hope that others will share their techniques as well, whether it be designed with machine or tearing. Fingers crossed.

Carving Tutorial sounds great
Took my time taking some Pics Will as I knew it was not an easy job in full leaf at the moment unless I just show a bunch of leaves
I put a few together as a forest to make care easier this season as like most my benches are over crowded. I will hopefully find some time to carve out the main trunk this Winter and see if I can make it work.
This was a weird shaped root I collected from the edge of a river. I am trying to turn into a raft.
This would be the largest tree I have ever collected.
Maybe not to everyone's liking but I plan to style it like the penjing school SUZHOU Big large trunk with cloud like pads of foliage I think this will suit it well.
Something like this still shot from Lindsay's WOB
This trunk is better than it looks, at least that's what I remember when I planted it deep in the pot with a tourniquet a couple of years ago anyway
This one was given to me on the day a very good friend died. He was of tall stature with lots of Character and that is what I see in this tree. Needs lots of improving though as it does not photograph well yet. It as all these trees would be so much fun to work over if the buggers would do more than vigorous growth in spring and then just stop

Excellent Elms Brett. They certainly look like English Elms to me and look extremely healthy and vigourous.
Have opened a thread in discussion and off topic banter(What a carve up) if anyone wants to post some pics for carving techniques and solutions.

Hello Will, sorry I don't write English, espero que el traductor trabaje bien...
felicitaciones por tu colección, tienes unos olmos magnificos, yo tengo algunos que me recuerdan mucho a los tuyos, y algunos amigos de afición me dicen que estoy loco por recojer tantos al ver este post creo que no soy el unico loco
Gracias por mostrarlos.

Hola Santi, y gracias. También estoy utilizando el traductor de Google. Sí, estoy loco por Olmos también. Los historiadores y botánicos han reconocido una estrecha relación genética entre los olmos en España y partes de Inglaterra y creo que los comerciantes y viajeros procedentes de España, podría haber comprado para su uso como forraje para los animales. Me encantaría ver a algunos de sus Olmos publicado aquí.

I would love to see some of your Elm trees posted here.

Hello Will, and IBC,
Hoy les haré fotos a algunos y se los enseñaré. Pero la mayor parte tienen solo un año desde que fueron recogidos y otros son de este 2011.
SALUDOS.
