White Cedar raft on slope

Hello everyone.
Since my first idea pop up all start from drawing without any material yet.


then I was thinking about the material that only can find out in my city , they would be white cedar.I finally have got them for 3 more in separate training pots but I only use 2 of them.
Before and after




I will put them on the rock or slope slab in final process.

Thank you for visiting my post.

Been growing bonsai's for several years on and off and am just wondering how you keep up the fluids for this one;

this is not a rock slab ,this rock has been build by some small pieces of rock stick them together with epoxy putty ,by that way ,it will has a few gaps between each pieces to be some water drain also I can design for a room space for the roots just like a pot, then the way to watering or fluids will be the same as the way to do with normal pot.

Great tree!

clear shot

nice rock work

behind the scene

thank-you for documenting your project from concept to fruition. much appreciated.

As I work diligently to learn the art of display I always find my heights and styles of display tables sorely limited. I say that because I didn't know if you preferred
the table to display your project on or if it was the best you had at the moment. I'd like to hear others with suggestions as to what table they would use to display
his project on....

Thank you , Dick . I just have this table for now .
Actually in my mind I would prefer the display without any ornament and more simple for this one I only like the color of rose wood the you can see in the picture , I only have 2 displays , one is in this picture and other is more simple with ebony dark wood

IMHO, the lower stone/slab on the left of the picture is IMHO, over kill, i.e. just a bit too much.

Yes, that piece in the lower left has very sharp edges and the strong point both draw the eye to that area and then push it away from the piece. Maybe if that particular rock was broken up a bit to yield less sharp edges...

Overall I really like the piece, very creative use of material (both the rocks and the trees). Like the overall feel and shape of the canopy and look forward to seeing it mature.

Thanks Berny and Chris ,I am glad to know that you guys like it,
for that a little sharp rock at below triangle , for now it looks off composition ,actually in my intention I have plan to plant some little plant on that , I want that looks more become like a steping landscape , but if it doesn't work in final , I will break the sharp edges off like Chris said .

The tree trunks are too straight and too thin in my opinion. You just need a very small amount of bending in the trunks - not enough to alter the overall direction, but just to suggest that they grew over a number of years and that conditions varied over their life.

I'd bend them 2 - 3 times along their length by just a couple of degrees so that they end up in about the same final position, but are not ram-rod straight.

I was not sure about your rock composition when I first saw it.

But the final result is good, and I think you have a good eye and artistic ability. I look forward to your future projects.
