    I do think the big jin on the bottom was too big. Good call to reduce it.

    Very nice tree and I love what you did to it. I subscribed so I can see how it developes. I really don't think this tree is as bad as you feel it is. All those issues have, in my opinion, make this a very interesting tree.

      Thanks Lisa, I appreciate your insights and YES please stay tuned because I plan on showing updates of all the work I've done on trees. One of the parts that drives me crazy is not seeing these trees months and years from when others have done work on them. I'll keep them coming! Cheers

    Hey, great start! Be interesting to see which direction you take this tree in the future. Whn work ing fresh deadwood, the to pull individual fibres, rather than carve. It will look a lot better afterwards!

    • @TheBonsaiEscape

      Appreciate your comments! I enjoy the art of bonsai and although I believe I'm helping inspire and teach others I'm always a student. Thanks for the tip!

    Great looking tree, I'm bummed that I missed your talk at the zoo, hopefully your able to do some more soon and I have a chance to come see it. Baby jade has become one of my favorite little trees to work on in my collection. Cheers

      Thanks for the reply. It was a long day of sharing our passion with others at the Detroit Zoo. Yes Baby Jades are so much fun. I'll be doing more videos on them! Cheers

    Really solid video dude! Hope this isn’t rude but this particular type of bonsai is spelled “Tanuki.” But other than that great vid!

    • @TheBonsaiEscape
      @TheBonsaiEscape Місяць тому

      Adriana! YES Tanuki! I had it spelled right in the description, so many moving parts when I'm putting videos together I miss things. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for the compliment

    Left and right side brain is a very outdated concept. Both sides are creative and analytical.

    • @TheBonsaiEscape

      Thanks for the comments. Bonsai gives us the maximum brain activity! The goal is to move from sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system. I'm not a neuroscientist, just can remark on how Bonsai gives me balance in life.
