Thank you, Martin, Learn how to grow and training Japanese black pine is very confusing took me 2 years to learn how. .You can get information from books or internet for guideline, But for Japanese black pine learn by experience is the best for me.

suthin

I'll give my best.
Books and the Internet are all the time available for me, but to see how it works in real is much better. But the distance between you and me is to large for a quick workshop Dammed!
Martin
PS.: maybe once we can come together in a web session? More and more this is common in my job and it works quite well....

Martin, Very easy to styling trees take 2-3 hours or a day every one can do it. Keep the tree happy and healthy need every day care all year.
Hope to see you some day,Boston is a beautiful city,

Hi Sutin!
I think that you are one of the very seldom to find people, who is able to do something like this! The tree was really not to bad as it was shaped before, but now it is so much better!
I like it very much.

Ah!
One short word because a few day ago I was in my garden, shape a little bit the trees and has time to "think a little bit over" what you are for me (difficult for me to find the right words....): you are for me the Kimura on Shohin! And this is really my honest opinion! A few years ago I saw a picture with a little Hinoki cypress and a fruit (for size relation reasons). From this moment I start to sell my bigger trees and invest the money in Shohin. So in fact you are the one who influenced me so much.
Hopefully no one will strangle me now for this open words

Another nice restyle. Thanks Suthin. The posts are instructive. I echo Martin's comments. Your work has had an influence on my attitude toward shohin and my own trees.

I took a work shop with you in Indianapolis a few years ago. It was a great experience, I hope to be able to again sometime. "Fat trunk, short tree.....skinny trunk, tall tree".
I am a fan of fat little shohin

Please continue to post your transformation photos.

Hi Suthin,
WOW!!!! BRAVO!!!!!
Your eye for movement, empty spaces and composition is breath taking! It is so good to see this kind of bonsai styling, were every little detail of the tree, pot and stand is important! Things like open spaces, branch placement and branch refinement are such a intricate part of high level bonsai art, and I some times miss that in some of the modern bonsai styles. But not in your creations Suthin! Your ability to discover and than creat something stunning out off already not so bad material is just amazing! Truly inspiring to me, so thanks for that Suthin!
Regards,
Hans van Meer.

Thank you Pavel, Rob and Hans for nice compliment, I'm glad you like it. Happy Thanksgiving
