I want to show you a yamadori White pine of my collection that i styled in may 2008.

After the position was right for me, we could search for the line between dead and life,cleaning the deadwood,remove rotten wood with a iron brush on a proxxon and do some work on the deadwood to make a better movement in the trunk.

After the cleaning , the wiring and the styling of the tree could begin.

Some big branches had to be bend and it was only possible with a guywire.

The Raw-material.

So I tilted the tree to the front for a better movement and the nebari looked not bad for a pine in this position, plus you can see the start of the lifevein.

And burned the parts i worked on, it would be a shame to burn what nature made.

Some branches were so stiff i had to apply some raffia.

So the styling ould begin

The endresult.

In March 2010 i gave the tree a second styling and repotted it.
