    In hindsight, the camo jacket probably wasn't the best choice, but thanks for checking out and liking the video! Consider donating to Bonsai-U at bjornbjorholm.com/donate/

      I wondered what you were spinning and styling! Just kidding, a great video!

      Yeah - you should try to get your money back on the camo - as I could still see you. V.good video. I like your speed.

      Can you please do a Japanese maple branch development video Bjorn?

      @emil_berth 4 роки тому +1

      You should consider making courses for - or just putting this course on - SkillShare. I'm sure it would fit right in over there. I do love that it's free here on UA-cam though! Keep up the good work, you're truly amazing!

    I have lived in Tokyo for 21 years Bjorn and near my house is a 60 year old bonsai. I was lucky and brashly watched the master attend to his masterpiece. I called to him and introduced myself. He was 80 years old. I was so honoured, he offered me tea and mochi. I could see many of his bonsai, (different ages). In fact, his cactii were more than 50 years old. Some with prickly pears. He just passed away and still I am very thankful for this blessing. My love of nature and trees and plants grows and gives me inspiration and hope through this corona virus challenge. Thank you too. I will continue and pass this tradition on.

    Best tutorial on building shohin juniper anywhere on the Internet.

    Great demonstration. I learned more in 45 minutes watching you than I did in a 4 hour workshop on shimpaku juniper.

  • @dshevack1

    damn that Juniper turned out very desirable; needless to say, you're quite talented = hands on, speaking/teaching & motivating. Thanks for this educational entertainment. The tree is already a beauty; so looking forward to its older self. Glad i subscribed; wouldn't want to miss any of it.

    • @StMargorach
      @StMargorach 3 роки тому +2

  • @thomaskauffman983
    @thomaskauffman983 4 роки тому +5

    Very helpful. It wasn't until the apex was set that magically the design came together. You have the knack of seeing the end result before you even start.

    Probably one of the best styling video series I've seen. Thanks for such a great video! I applied a lot of what you did with this tree to a shimpaku today.

  • @dismian7
    @dismian7 4 роки тому +9

    Awesome tutorial, great to see how all comes together in the end to form a beautiful tree. Especially in regards to the apex, I had no clue how you were about to fix it.

    You have no idea how grateful I am of this video. I have several junipers I’ve been stuck on their stylings for a while and this has rekindled my confidence as a rookie that can’t make it to local meetings or workshops.
    THANKS!

    These two videos are the best out on UA-cam! Very clear instructions! Thanks!

  • @stulast
    @stulast 3 роки тому +4

    Amazing - this is one of the few videos I've seen where the progression from whip to a primary styled tree is shown. Even more amazing is you've shown the initial creation of the Shari. Placing the tree against the lit background really shows what can be achieved with this kind of stock grown from cuttings. It's really helped me plan out what I need to do over the next few years with the handful of cuttings I've obtained. Thanks so much!

  • @cyndifoore7743
    @cyndifoore7743 4 роки тому +2

    Amazing, at first I thought this plant wasn’t going to make a very nice bonsai but it turned out stunning from all views.
    I can’t wait to see it in it’s pot.

  • @matshagstrom9839

    really nice job

  • @stevena.2198
    @stevena.2198 4 роки тому +5

    It’s great to see projects like these. I don’t always enjoy watching a Master work on several thousand dollar material that most beginners can’t obtain. I think that’s such a really fine job. You took something that resembles a $30 plant from Home Depot into a bad ass Shohin Bonsai

    • @jackrinderer7916
      @jackrinderer7916 3 роки тому

      Are you joking ? That’s a 8 year old iotagawa shimpaku juniper that was styled when it was a few years old and they are probably $350+.

  • @williamaitken7533
    @williamaitken7533 4 роки тому +2

    This is legitimately inspiring. I appreciate that you take the time to explain everything that you're doing. And I appreciate that it's explained in a way that makes sense. I'm still a novice and I have a tough time deciding how to position my branches so they look interesting without looking too contrived. Seeing branches wired in pretty extreme ways gives me a lot more confidence to experiment with my wiring.
    The way that you turned the apex from a little whip into what looked like a picturesque branch genuinely shocked me when I first watched it. I had to rewind to see how it happened.

    @the.bonsai.samurai 4 роки тому +1

    Love these Shohin Bonsai!! Incredibly helpful dem!! I tend to cut branches before thinking of making jin or shari. You can always remove it later, but you can't put it back. Thx Bjorn!
