Bonsai making: bonsai masters who can carve are powerful and must be good things

The olives picked in this mountain were imported by the bonsai master from Spain in September 16. As you can see from the picture below, this is a very potential material. Beautiful tapered stakes, twisted trunks, small leaves, and some naturally formed dead wood on the trunk are all the characteristics of good bonsai material. Comparing the size of the trunk with the cup, it is estimated to be ten centimeters.

The back of the stump had been messed with before, but it gave up halfway.

For a good material, what needs to be done is often some details. After a year of preservation and pruning of branches and leaves, the shape of branches and leaves has a preliminary shape.

For the carving of dead wood, a lot of efforts have been made. To make old pile bonsai, we often have to do some dead wood treatment. Only by making the feeling that has gone through the vicissitudes of life will it become a boutique in people's eyes. Although the carving of dead wood for bonsai is not to do handicrafts, it does not need to be so fine, but it still needs a little imagination, not only to make it look unusual, but also to make it look natural and traceless.

Using plant ash and stone sulfur mixture to make the dead wood old, this method is really good, it looks more natural.

The technique of dead wood carving is actually very simple. It is estimated that the pure technical bonsai masters in Europe all learn from the same vein, and their techniques are those played by Graham. Let's just look at the results and think about what we can do with the materials in hand from the final product.

This part is on the left, and it looks much better after this hollowed-out carving.

The place where the back has been done has also been hollowed out, showing very vicissitudes of life.
