I’m sure I am not the only viewer who really appreciates these ‘time lapse’ videos over several/many months. It must take a lot more effort, organisation and motivation but really helps to tell a useful story. Thanks!
These ‘time lapse’ videos covering several/many months must take considerably more effort, organisation and motivation to produce but they really help to create a coherent and educational story. Much appreciated, thanks!
Thx, I know the name. I just had a blank when it came to what to call the tool -a carving bit-. I have had Chris' creations in my toolkit from day 1 that he made the first nibblers
Pōsōh nētahs! Greetings friend!!! Thank you so much for the kind words on the Forum... My phone would not let me comment there for a few days. I appreciate you deeply, friend. I hope your holidays were marvelous and i send blessings for your household in the upcoming year. 🤓
Just as I was thinking that it would be very interesting to see how this tree progressed, it turned out that it was a shot over a long period of time. This is very interesting and educational. Thanks, Jelle.
Jelle - I've been employing this technique for a while, and from my experience, you're on the right track. The sole advice I'd offer is to (carefully) undercut the wound edge a little more so you can insert putty further under the edge. Growth is rarely even around a wound and the faster growing side can actually push the putty disk in the opposite direction, causing it to "lift" outward over the slower growing side. Think of how tree roots lift sidewalk paving. You might also find a better brand of putty that genuinely achieves true permanent hardness because the softening of the putty disk's edges you found also promotes "lift" over the slower growing side. Finally, like a lot of commenters, I really appreciate the thought and patience you put into your "time lapse" technique that makes your videos so compelling and comprehensible. Keep it up!
This is another fantastic instructional video using the time lapse facility to demonstrate the effectiveness of your techniques. Really enjoyed this :)
Another wonderful lesson, thank you! Earmarked for a few years time when I dig some field growing trees . . . I am guilty of wandering around the garden with cutters and not treating wounds when I make them. Might have to lift my game as my trees get better!
Great video once again! Interesting to see the different stages and you also explain8ng what you do and why. Happy new Bonsai Year! Cheers from a cold, dark Finland
He Jelle weer een geweldige video. Ik ga dit toepassen. Lijkt me heel zinvol. Hoewel ik sommige littekens op een stam erg mooi vind. Goede video. Bedankt. Goede Jaarwisseling. Tot volgend jaar 👍👍👍
Very informative as always, brilliant idea to use epoxy putty to fill wounds. I used something similar a few days ago to make feet for a terracotta pot that didn't have any.
I've seen a bridge grafting on to the wound to double the edges of healing. Also some people use aluminium paper to cover the wound. They say it heals faster.
Dear Jelle, you’re so funny when you’re dead pan! ‘it’s like there’s been a massacre’! That’s as far as I’ve got, I just swung by to wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2024 n will finish when I have the time to do you justice. Thanku for your brill contribution to my baby, Desert Island Bonsais, I especially loved hearing you speak in Dutch 🥰 God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. ✌️🇮🇱🤍✌️
Thank you for this video Jelle. Wish a happy, healthy and blessed New Year. Another possibility is to use Milliput. This hint was gibven by Herons Bonsai. I tried and it works perfect. Best regards from the south of Germany
It's hard to tell, but it looked from when you were carving the rotten wood away that there was a section (either rotted or just water-saturated) that extended _under_ the scar. Perhaps the extra moisture prevented the putty from drying properly? Can't wait to see how the wounds look next year. And speaking of, Happy New Year, Jelle! 🎇🎆
Great video. I really like your videos. I Think you should use gloves when using epoxy. Even the wright type of gloves. Depending on the epoxy type, a mask as well.
Jelle are you dutch? Like your vids. Good info. Im a biginner started a lemon tree have it about 6 years but not getting the best result but its going.
Lorsqu'il se compartimente l'arbre créé un bourrelet cicatriciel et comme tu le sais d'année en année il finit par recouvrir la plaie. Dans ton cas le bourrelet a été incapable de faire le job du fait de la présence du trou existant. Ce qu'il ,a fait c'est qu'il s'est enroulé sur lui même .Maintenant que l'orifice est bouché par du mastic, ce que tu dois faire c'est couper le bord intérieur et enlever cette partie du bourrelet afin que le recouvrement de l'année à venir vienne s'appuyer sur ton mastic. A toutes fins utiles. Très bonne année 2024 et merci pour tes vidéos.

It does require some forethought and admin as well as data management. But the intent is to make interesting content!

I salute this spirit of producing well thought out, well planned , well edited and invaluable time lapse video.
That is so kind, thank you!
That carving bit is called a "nibbler" great video as always...thanks for sharing!

I love the experiments, Jelle, and your honesty when it doesn't go quite as you thought! Happy New Year and a fantastic bonsai year in 2024! 🎉🥳🎉
Lets make it a great year!

Glad to be of surprise! I really try to do a full cycle so people see what the effect if methods is.

Always a great day when a new Jelle video is uploaded!
You're the best!

:) Buut.. Only for bigger wounds it is an issue. Small cuts typically have not trouble healing.
Great video once again!

Time for spring to start huh?

Excellent as always Jelle. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
My pleasure!
Very informative as always, brilliant idea to use epoxy putty to fill wounds. I used something similar a few days ago to make feet for a terracotta pot that didn't have any.
And.. Did it work?
Quite well indeed@@GrowingBonsai
I've seen a bridge grafting on to the wound to double the edges of healing.
Also some people use aluminium paper to cover the wound. They say it heals faster.
Heard that too. Still need to try and compare!

Awesome video mate and even a better tree! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy new year Jelle, thank you for your content 🎉
Interesting! Thx Jelle.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar.
Hartelijk dank Kenneth!
Nice video as always. I'll try that on some Japanese maples that haven't healed well. Happy New year.
Good luck! A good 2024 to you too!
Good video, definitely some editing work went into this video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job jelle keep up the good work mate thanks
WIll do, thank you!
Really good job. Thanks for sharing.
Great explanation like always! Looking forward to the results in the coming years. Greets from Belgium and bestbonsai/ wishes for the new year
I am so looking forward to see this tree in five years!
Un grand merci pour la vidéo!
You are welcome!

Yeah, it is the odd thing with working on a video when doing bonsai work. You miss details! I am hoping for more closing next year!
jelle you should use dust mask ppe too when power carving. some nasty stuff in saw dust. nice trident tho even withthe big scares on it
Fair point! Guess after two years of masks, I am avoiding them a little. Bad habit..
Great video. I really like your videos. I Think you should use gloves when using epoxy. Even the wright type of gloves. Depending on the epoxy type, a mask as well.
Thx for your concern. I do not think there were warnings like this on the package?
Netjes, mooi boompje
Thx!
Hello. Can this really not be used on pine? What brand of putty are you using?
Jelle are you dutch? Like your vids. Good info. Im a biginner started a lemon tree have it about 6 years but not getting the best result but its going.
Lemon is a tricky for bonsai I understand! I guess local climate makes this a make or break condition.

Sorry, my french is not good enough
Is there a time of yr where “tickling” the edges of a wound to encourage wound closure is best? Can you damage the edges in early spring? Mid spring?
It seems you can do this also already before budbreak. I try to do most of the work a tree needs in spring in one go.
@@GrowingBonsaiThank you very much for your response!! I have a powerful Japanese maple trunk with a wound that has seemed to stall…… I have a dremmel already. Thank you and take care!
Who else laughed out loud at 10:11?
Me, me, pick me!

👍👌🙂
:D
You're wasting your time. Those large wounds will never fully heal. Learn to embrace them.
You are mistaken. These will heal over easily.
@@GrowingBonsai Prove it. Show us when they heal. Especially not with all that putty in it
I think it would be useful to stress the importance of the sacrifice branch more. No wounds will close without one
