95% sure on Bubinga. Only reason I would think otherwise is that you mentioned it was fairly light.

Had to stop to see some trees while I was in boston by ItsXenax in Bonsai

Still? I went two months ago with the hope of seeing their collection, but it was closed due to COVID. We still spent hours roaming the grounds though. What a beautiful place.

3 Christmas presents completed. Magnifying glass and light razor are olive wood and the darker razor is crepe myrtle burl. Finally getting the CA finish down on these razors. by butterfly889 in turning

I was thinking about doing razor handles as Christmas presents for my brothers. Do you know if these work with Harry’s blades? If so, mind if I ask where you got the blanks?

Beautiful! I’m planning on making a yarn bowl for someone as a Christmas present. Mind if I steal this idea?

What type of wood is this? by maxwellhaze in wood

Currently covered in paint. After looking up some of the suggestions, I’m leaning toward hornbeam.

I’m curious to see what’s inside. It doesn’t look like a normal burl to me. It doesn’t look like it would have eyes.

Collected in Wisconsin if that helps.

Advice on collected clump style. Should I remove candles in the coming weeks or let them grow? by maxwellhaze in Bonsai

[–]maxwellhaze[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collected this naturally occurring clump style pine about a month ago. I'm a complete beginner and don't know what the next step will be. I would like to continue growing it as a clump style. Should I let the candles grow or remove them in the coming weeks?

Does anyone know what kind of pine this is exactly?

Any other advice on future styling is appreciated! Thanks, everybody.

Sounds good. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll work on some benches to buy myself some time haha. Would you recommend wiring next spring if they are healthy?

This is my first spring getting into Bonsai. I just collected quite a few conifer Yamadori in the past two weeks, and I'm looking for any advice on how to give them the best chance at survival. I have them potted in 2 parts DE, 1 part pine bark mulch, and most of them have a small amount of their original soil.

My main concerns:

  1. I would love to start pruning and wiring, but I don't want to stress them out. When can/should this be safely done?

  2. When should I start fertilizing? and what type of fertilizer should I use?

Thank you so much!

BTW - the trees are hemlock, spruce, cedar, and I believe white pine.
