Pinus sylvestris - restyling 2011 (owner my friend Jirka)

Hi all friends.

Owner Pine is my friend Jirka. The first styling he made in February 2009.
In autumn 2010 brought me to the Pine restyling. Today I finished the job. I think I did an interesting change.

very cool!~

Yes Pavel you did an outstanding job! very nice

regards,
jun

I like the way your carving evolved. Very nice job!
Salut, Todd

Thats a great transformation Pavel. However, I'd like to see the foliage brought back closer to the trunk and the jin shortened.

At any rate, this gives new hope to those of us that can collect at Christmas tree farms!!

Hi Jie , Jun and Todd

Thank you for yours nice replies . I appreciate it

Pavel

Hi Neil

Thank you for your nice coment.
Yes, I agree, the crown of the tree closer to the dead wood. Unfortunately, now that's impossible. The development will be the next restyle.
But the dead wood I had the whole high. I'm happy with that.

Pavel

very great restyling !!!! I have to clap hands....

is next step going to reduce trunk in lower part for better siluet ?

Hi Martin.

Thank you for your nice coment. The development Budde much work. Line, perhaps uro, jin on the right side. Further to consultation with the owner.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does the aluminum foil do?

The foil is used to keep the foliage out of harms way when using the various tools for carving, etc. Aluminum foil holds its shape and the foliage pad can then be gently squeeze to reduce its mass without serious injury to the foliage. It also makes it easier to see the lines of the tree by "hiding" it. Many bonsai growers will cover foliage (branches they think might need to be removed) with cloth, foil, plastic bags, or paper, on parts of the tree they aren't sure they want to remove (yet); covering it with something allows you to visually imagine what the tree will look like "without it" before you cut it off. Once its prune away, it can't be put back.
Best, Todd

Hi Ryan and Todd

Todd, Thanks for your help in explaining the use of aluminum foil.

In this case bylla used as protection when working on dead wood. Protection against heat with burning wood.

Hi Pavel,
Yet another magical transformation.

Hi Stavros

Thank you very much for very nice replies.

Pavel

Great transformation Pavel.

I had a go at a bit if a virt if the deadwood was extended a little on the right. It would give the trunk a little more curve, also the inside curve on the left has been accentuated, this may be possible with a little shari near back of tree. It just gives a little more movement to the trunk base which would make it look more natural. Improvements for the future when the tree has recoevered maybe?

Hi Marko,

thank you for nice coment. Yes, it is possible. Also uro, a new jin of right root and others. But later.


Implementation jin to the right side will depend on the choice of the pot.
