The "rescue restyling" master strikes again! Looks great
for me rain is never an issue that detracts from the enjoyability of the video, in fact I find it quite relaxing
Isn't there a pop song in the '60s about 'listen to the rhythm of the falling rain' ? Shows how old I am !!

Great to see you used electrical wire I’ve never bought any bonsai wire there’s so much wire to be found I love making it happen for free cheers 😮
I'm so glad to see how You calmly bend and twist this tree. Raw process of its forming is something that we can't see on many videos. Your example show us how this process isn't, and doesn't need to be covered with mystery. It's not goal that counts, but trip to it is what matters. I wish You good health and many years to live and work.
I temember that little robin,sitting next to you,and eating the insects from the trees you did replant.So cute little bird😍
Yeah me too!!!
What a lucky little tree to get so much attention! Magnificent transformation and vision - as always. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy your videos. Your channel is the reason I do Bonsai. The sound of the birds and rain in this video was very nice.
Outstanding work!
It's been a long while since I've dropped in your comments section. I thought you like to know I'm still watching and admiring your work from a far. I try not to bother you as you are a very busy person in life.
I love feedback - comments are always useful - even from the trolls because I get to know who they are !!
Nice bonsai
The sound rain is giving background music for it.
Look forward to seeing how this one will do in the future.
Using tape is a great idea!
Without fail, your vision and skill shows me something i can't see.
It can be learnt
@@peterchan3100 That is true, but you do have an artistic eye Peter.
Dr Chan has done it again
Ps The rain is beautiful and very atmospheric
Will be interested to see the progress of this tree over the years.
Those tools are also used on Horses feet, trimming and shoeing
Thank you so much for this episode. It was very instructive to see the work on such a complex tree. Not an easy task, and the result is fascinating.
Dear Mr. Chan,
With the sound of nature (rain), thank you for sharing, once again, the creation of another piece of art.
With kind regards,

Stunning transformation
The end result was spectacular! 🌳
This video was incredibly helpful! It was amazing to see the comparison between the before and after versions of the tree! Thank you for continuing to instruct and enlighten all of us, Peter!
You are magician sir! Love your videos❤
Just recently discovered this channel,man i love this,its so amazing what you see in these trees and what you turn them into,now im addicted and will start practicing on my own.Ill be looking for on sale trees .What a fantastic talent you guys have
Wow, great job Sensei Chan, I would have lopped off the right hand side and jin that graft, spring is showing signs of returning to the PNW, hope you get it there too, oh and really liked the sound of the rain, it was a nice soothing background noise, even though Mr Chan is soothing himself.
Peter, it’s so great watching the transformation of this tree. I don’t have decent sized trees to play with, I need to go acquire one or two larger trees. Thank you for the Video.
Wow that was amazing Peter. Love to just sit and watch you work. You are amazing and a big plus I get to learn more from you. Thank you so much.
Thanks Peter
Fantastic job on this one Peter, it looks beautiful ❤
Nice 👍 raffia would be preferable as sticky tape pulls bark off 🙏
Another great video Peter. Thanks for posting
What about some trunk splitting on the long side too?
Incredible transformation!
Mr. Chan, you are such a great teacher, thank you for all of your amazing videos
Lovely transformation Peter
Great work Peter, as usual 🎩🎩🌳
Amazing tutorial, Mr Chan, many many thanks !
Hey there Peter, many thanks for the effort you and yours put in all of your videos. Pure, wobbly, rainy, but inspirational above all.
For me the Herons videos were the start of my bonsai journey some years ago.
I hope to visite Herons nursery some day. “Its like a day at the beach” I’ll tell the Mrs!
Kind and wam regards from Holland.
Amazing work, so beautiful and poetic, really impressive 👏
Great work 👍👍👍
Big difference! Turned out really nice
Quite dramatic endresult! Very nice!
This is a great transformation. Thx mr chen❤
Very, very nice result.
Turned out quite nicely. Well done my friend!
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing, very good result! Interesting to see how you use the branch splitter.
I love his passion and confidence.
Informative as Always, Peter! Glad that you mentioned the rain. Yesterday i installed a new Surround-Receiver at my TV . I thought there is Something wrong with the trebles, a sort of White noise. I tried to Change it in the menu until you mentioned the rain hammering down 😂
Now it's a beautiful tree. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Peter as soon as you started I thought to myself he is going to do the bag trick, and to my surprise you did suggesting one of the trunks could go, imagine my surprise you chose the opposite trunk to me, I thought the smaller trunk would make a nice literati tree and in a way you did just that, but then you showed why you are the top artist and I am not you continued to style the main trunk into a very credible pine bonsai. A couple asides the other day I used your famous bag trick when deciding which branch to remove on a juniper I was working on, the decision became obvious. The other point, I have been working on an experiment to see the best material to use to to wrap the branch or trunk before wiring, first I used vet tape which worked ok until it needs to be removed, next I tried hessian wrap which again you can buy in a roll, which worked to a point but started to shred after a while, the last one I used a product called paper raffia which you can buy on a roll it looks and acts just like genuine raffia, like raffia you can apply it wet or dry and it holds together well and stops the wire marking the bark, so all three work, it becomes a matter of choice😂.Thank you for not taking the easy way out. Joe.
What a lovely transformation .
Beautiful work!
Thx for sharing Peter 😊
Beautiful work by a master
Good job,Peter👍🌳
Beautiful piece of living art...thank you🙏🙏👨🌾🚜👨🌾😍
Beautiful 😍
lovely 👋👍
An absolutely fantastic transformation. See the tree at the beginning I thought no chance but how wrong can you be? Anyone would be proud to own this tree now.
Nice transformation.
VERY GOOD👍👍👍
Very nice!!🌱🪴🌲
I'm curious if it's possible to make the branch splitter cuts spiral around the trunk to effect a spiral twist.
Difficult but it might go against the grain of the wood and it might not serve any useful purpose but always worth a try - that's what experiments are for.
I have seen videos in China of people actually cutting away a section of the branch leaving only a little on the side and folding the bar and then taping it up. To create a shape of a tree but this scares the hell out of me of losing the actual tree. I often wonder what the percentages are survival.
It very nice 👍
Lovely work Peter. Jesus bless you and all.
Veri nice🙏🙏🙏👍❤❤❤

That rain sounds so heavy (i can hear you clearly) Do you have an Ark on standby
I leave the birds the bugs i dont want around in a ceramic shallow pot with no hole next to the bird bath 😂 the birds are happy
Looks decent man. Good luck
Good morning Peter. Such a lovely and unique tree. Would you be willing to part with it??
Yes it will be sold, but not straightaway
can you be shown again on something else but the photographer get more closer into what is actually happening? I would like to see what you’re actually doing to split the branch.
My thinking would be to put the bar on a hard service and perhaps put a chisel through the branch if that is the way you are splitting it.
How long I have to wait for fertilise Yamadori
Wait till they are showing signs of new growth - then wait say a month before you give a gentle feed. Too much fertiliser can damage the roots.
Very nice! You moved the tree from nothing to beauty!
hi I have never seen you those bonsai branch bending clamps. I bought some from eBay and find them quite useful. Where is you’ve got two hooks and it’s like a G clamp you turning the centrepiece and bends or pushes should I say the middle part away and pulls back the part where the hooker, I’m actually using one on a maple at the moment which I bought cheap for 5 .99 which is very long and unwanted
Does it take longer for the branch to 'set' if branch splitting is used?
Does one have to wait longer on those branches for the wire to come off?
It wil heal in five or six months - but I would leave the wire on for at least a year.
@@peterchan3100 Thanks Peter! So not much different to a normally wired trunk?
What if the pine lacks movement and the size/bark of the trunk prevents the use of wire?
It can then be a straight tree like a formal upright or slanting style.
robins have a life span of about 13 months
👌👍👍🙂
Unfortunately I had to quit watching, the sound was not enjoyable. 😢
That’s what living your best life looks like! Do your children bonsai?
No my kids dont do bonsai they they are artists - they paint.
Awe too bad for the bonsai community!
