Making a large literati pine

[@almac2598]

Thanks team.

[@M31glow]

I really enjoy the banter between you and Kevin. This post was great!

[@jonathanself7248]

The literati bonsai style looks so elegant

[@themichaellerner]

Always a bonus having Kevin on with you!

[@wgrassbjd]

I love literati style, and this pine is exquisite! Great job!

[@TylerDane]

I feel like this is a lesson in true patience. Not being able to wait for long periods of time, but to not act even when you're really excited about something. Thank you for the reminder Peter.

[@Workingman-ww3lw]

@@TylerDane ❤️Yep!

[@percymichaud8003]

Peter, This is a beautiful tree with Kevin Wilson's magic touch. you and Kevin work well together.

[@swimminwitdafishes8059]

Great camera work Josh.

[@Darthescar98]

Over 30 years in the making. That's older than me. Bonsai gives me something to look forward to when I'm getting old. I have trees growing now which will hopefully look just as beautiful in a few decades

[@mick681]

What a difference the carving made to the tree. Kevin must be a wizard with his carving tools.

[@billwebber400]

As a grower myself, I LOVE seeing the Felco hand pruners❤

[@mburakuzun]

Hey Peter I'm a huge fan of your youtube channel, just a small hint for your videos, if you zoom in from the camara while you film, there will be less focusing issue on the footage.

[@MidniteSan]

1 big tree two masters...awesome...thx for sharing this literati Peter and Kevin

[@zaubergarden6900]

What a satisfying sight that was when you ripped that big round-and-round root off. Makes me want to start fresh with new bonsai for the new year :)

[@tb4076]

Mind boggling to me how he can just quickly chop of such a huge chunk of root, especially considering he's invested 30 years into this tree.I'd be scared out of my wits hoping i don't kill it haha

[@alejmat3371]

As ever, Mr Chan amazing! Mr Kevin, wow, a gentle surgeon's hand with that scary tool.

[@joegarland4885]

Good to see Kevin doing a bit of carving, which made a big difference to a tree you have worked on for so many years. Thank you Peter. When did you originally do the work, What month was it ?

[@peterchan3100]

I worked on it on New Years day.

[@laddieokelley6095]

One must strain to hear Peter all the way across the Atlantic. Haha. That might be a good thing; I pay careful attention. Also love the way Peter grows an extra set of hands. Literati might be my favorite style, but I have had only one decent tree, a yamadori Ashe Juniper collected on a club dig. This is a very nice literati.

[@lukemead5276]

A very nice tree peter 👌🏼

[@marksamwell5440]

What a beautiful tree ! Makes me want to fast forward the Scots pines I have on my benches ! :)

[@SkyIsFallen]

I'm a BIG fan of Literati style too so please do more Bunjin videos. Great work on the carving Kevin and keeping it looking natural. I'm with Peter though and preferred it the other way around haha :).

[@greenhawk1592]

Great team and tree! 👏🏼🌳⭐️

[@tomnyein]

Thanks for sharing bonsai knowledge plus bonus English language part

[@MrChausner]

Great video listening to the ideas

[@sakubonsai]

The tree is looking good already 👌. It will be nice to see the progress in a year time. Thank you Peter and Kevin

[@bonsaibythesea]

Pine’s are a long road good luck with that one cheers 😊

[@STP19]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yes. Another Sunday Morning Treat. Many Thanks. STP

[@barit924]

Beautiful, as always! And Kevin's carving is perfect.

[@Mitchell-y6u]

awesome great trees as always

[@headingnorth5701]

Very striking. Resembles a harp.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Very beautiful

[@guibehmer]

Beautiful work. You guys are real masters. Thank you and greetings from Brazil. 🙏

[@adampolacco7178]

אלופים, תודה. ❤

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Lovely tree Peter 👊 We spoke at the bonsai club opening at Leatherhead the other day, you invited me to herons to make a video on making bespoke bonsai pots in the style of Su chin Ee. I would love to take you up on that offer Peter. I was thinking around April time as I am busy preparing for bonsai fest right now, making pots etc, does some time in April sound okay with you ? Would be lovely to meet you again

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Thank you Peter, Josh and Kevin ❤🌳 I like the cascading to the right.....maybe cuz I'm right handed 😊

[@jameslangschied7900]

My vote: Cascade to the right. But both ways are beautiful.

[@jameslangschied7900]

PS. Peter is right about the bigger pot. Horticultural integrity is part of the first rule of bonsai: keep it living. Wow. What a beautiful tree.

[@constanzetausch122]

Dear Peter, would you mind using your mic when filming? The smartphone does not catch your voice when you're face is turned away from the camera man and I would pretty much like to hear every word that you are saying.

[@peterchan3100]

I must remember to use the mike regularly

[@christopherscott8451]

Maybe add some raffia and pull the top bend in tighter, but the space between foliage and trunk is nice as is. Probably an opportunity for more shari by following the natural line almost down to base.

[@tomzifertomzifer6944]

Really nice

[@KidCarlos]

I love it

[@gabrielsingh513]

Mr peter could you give me that tree please

[@solasta]

Yeah.

[@derricmacy]

yeah, you know.

[@Silvangreen]

Exquisite.

[@angelluisprivadocanadilla9243]

👍🌲

[@lindacrabtree-x8f]

Love the videos, but just lately the sound level is awful, can only hear Peter sporadically

[@shirleysenkler781]

Did you forget to turn on your microphone?

[@voodooskratch]

👍

[@Benw3790]

It’s a real shame that there isn’t hardly any movement in the trunk.. you have movement in the thinner parts of the tree (the apex and branches) but it just does not compliment the trunk at all. Maybe some heavy, heavy bending for the trunk, in the future?

[@Bonsai286]

Interesting critique
