Example One
These images show
a Mugo pine being
processed at an incline.
At the base, a particular
branch emerges almost
like a double trunk, but
it was left to make the
tree more natural. The
large cut branches have
been torn and carved
to create a shari that
goes down to the base
of the trunk creating a
sculptural focal point.
To create a more
compact and elegant
form, guy wires and a
heavy-duty turnbuckle
have been applied to
bend the trunk—15 cm
in diameter—about ten
degrees. This maneuver
moved the trunk 40 cm,
an action that created
cracks in the trunk,
which were then treated
with a wound sealant.
In the drawing by my
student Simòn, you can
see how in the future I
will try to create a more
compact and more
beautiful bonsai.
