Restoring a Monster - A Neglected American Beech Bonsai

This American Beech has been sitting in the back for a few years now, neglected and forgotten. This video is about the start of it's restoration into become something great - I hope! The next video will contain more about the structure and shaping, wiring and management of this monster. For now it will be allowed to grow and recover. Thanks for watching
Any Questions please don't hesitate.
Think about become a Patreon so I can devote more time to this channel and provide even more content for you as this take a lot of time, despite already working a full time job and really enjoying doing this channel! patreon.com/GiveTanks?...
I simply do Bonsai in parallel with my busy life as a way to relax and connect to nature. I approach bonsai with a very simple approach, simple tools, and just start working.
More updates to come, and thank you for watching.

This was a real beast of a tree and took about 8 hours of work I put in 10 mins. Thank you to everybody!

While it was raining I kept thinking about The Doors “ Rider on the Storm “ , just an old favorite song brings back memories of my youth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on bonsai.

[@givetanks]

Man that's a stunning tree! The tree that broke the camera! The rain sounds were very atmospheric as well 😊

[@givetanks]

Thanks! Yeah in the middle of doing this tree, the weather went full spring thunderstorm.

@@givetanks We're about to enter that phase here soon. It's a nice time of the year.

I think this is the only comedic bonsai channel on KZbin 😅 quite the niche you've made for yourself 😆

[@givetanks]

I originally tried to do what everyone else did and made them intense and dramatic but that just wasn't me. So I just went ahead with a more comedic style that is more me. No idea if it would be too much but It just felt right to me.

It's good, there's plenty of serious channels out there. Bonsai needs some more light hearted videos being made.

[@givetanks]

@@TheMightyYak Thank you!

[@Ukedc259]

[@Minstera]

A Hackzall makes pruning much faster

[@givetanks]

[@wreagin1]

How did you excavate that monster?

[@givetanks]

Tooooook a long time, a saw and a mountain of sweat.
