VALAVANIS OPEN HOUSE DEMO- CARAPELLA

Harvey Carapella worked on an old Pitch Pine for his demo. On Saturday he worked on reducing the number of trunks and beginning to carve the remaining trunks into dead wood. Later he decided to reduce their heights.

On Sunday he wired the Pitch Pine into a literati style bonsai.

It also really needs to be pointed out that Harvey was doing that demo on Saturday in some kind of terrific, mango swamp, heat!..I was dripping sweat sitting still, and he was up there under the lights!
