Ryan, the Bonsai Master in the U.K.. Nice finish to the tree. Looks super cool. After all, it had a super cool creator. Now all Ryan needs is a pair of dark glasses as a finish.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Lol Tom, thanks buddy really appreciate it ;)

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Only you can keep on going after cutting yourself like that. I would be off crying to my daughters for a plaster. Their version of The Sound of Silence is awesome and I play it regularly. Great video and tree design :)

[@houghtonbonsai]

Lol Xavier i just did not want to end the video and start all over again haha, first time i have heard it but really loving it. Cheers m8 ;)

Amazing transformation Ryan. Great to see how you bought the leggy branches close in, top job as always 😊👍

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Peter m8 👍

That tree brings back childhood memories. That's the kind of tree we had every Christmas, larger of course. And about that video if Disturbed, there is another video done live on 'The Conan O'Brien show, which, I think is even better. And that tree is amazing.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hope it is good memories Mary lol, i will have a look for it love the other. Thank you ;)

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Cool starter trees. I bet you can make a nice full forest with them and a little house in the middle with a cobble walk. Now that would be cool.

[@houghtonbonsai]

I am going to make a forest Tom, but without the house lol ;)

[@alastairgoodall1694]

That’s cool, looks like a different tree. Your shaping after wiring is awesome. Be good to see it when it fills out.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you alastair, Cheers m8 ;)

[@tommytacoma8247]

Looks great man, time for the Super Glue!

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Tommy, it nearly was lol ;)

[@joegarland4885]

Hi Ryan a difficult tree to style mate with such long branches, it will never be a classic tree but it looks good, changing the angle improves it , anybody who says they haven't had a blade slip and cut is lying we have all done it. Love your work mate.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hi Joe, yeah it was a hard one it might back bud then i can cut and start and straighten the branches as it is bendy as anything, Thanks m8 really appreciate it ;) P.S i responded to this it must not have saved haha

[@trybonsai]

Brilliant work buddy.... And yes what out with your tools... Really great work🎉🎉🎉

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks m8 really appreciate it ;)

[@dkstott29]

Nice looking.....isn't it about time prune Scott's silent auction tree??😂

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Dave, lol defo about time to do something with his trees

[@mick681]

If anyone can turn a sows ear into a silk purse it's you Ryan. Sharp those bark strippers aren't they. Used mine today for the first time. Pleased to say both hands still intact mate.

[@houghtonbonsai]

lol Mick, it will not happen again m8 i hope haha ;)

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Nice Ryan 👊👊

[@houghtonbonsai]

Cheers buddy ;)

[@pamelahanel7584]

Fantastic looking tree.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you ;)

[@rtregear]

Nice work, Ryan. Massive improvement. You end up with lots of squiggly branches which I'm not sure about, but more foliage will help with that. The small jin in the front doesn't work for me but, as you suggest, an interesting shari would look good there and reflect the one above. Thanks for another useful video.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks m8, once the tree starts and back buds i will prob ley start and straighten the branches as they are flexible. Fingers crossed that the pads will hide most of it, only time will tell. The Jin does not do it for me either, it will come off next time it is in. You are welcome and thanks for watching ;)

[@briancoulter38]

Beautiful job much better than corrine can do with this kind a stuff

[@houghtonbonsai]

nice job, been watching your channel for a long time now and can see how your skills have progressed, your getting a bit good lad, very impressed

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you Paul, I appreciate that ;)

[@kirkbuck1753]

Fantastic tree mate.. you really make an effort to show the whole process. Where im based, there is loads of pines, and I have permission to collect trees. I've seen loads that are leggy, but been put off collect them. I may now give it a go.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Kirk m8, i try lol. I would defo give it ago Kirk it is trees for free and you might get a couple of beltas. Let me know how you get on buddy ;)

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks For the membership Buddy really appreciate it ;)

[@kirkbuck1753]

@houghtonbonsai you're welcome mate. I really enjoy your channel. As a fellow northerner stuck down south, it's refreshing to hear the banter and accent.

[@houghtonbonsai]

@ Thanks buddy, at least someone can understand me haha. As for the banter, you want to see how much i have to cut from the videos and hold back 🤣🤣

[@tomnyein]

[@shuancook9005]

It’s a nice touch M8. Just a personal opinion the tree looks great but my eyes are drawn to the dead wood at the top to much . Is that necessary for your decision for the future . It looks to lumpy top end and out of position. I’m not fault finding just a personal opinion. It’s a great job well done M8. Stay cool 🤜🍺🍺🪴

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Shaun m8, i totally agree with you, it is a bit blocky, i will be reducing it in the future as the tree develops. All opinions welcome buddy, that's what it's all about. ;)

[@pauljhann]

A first class job, Ryan, and a nicely put together video, but please be more careful with your sharp tools, that cut sent an alarming shudder throughout my body.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you Paul, Haha, noted! I guess my tools are sharper than my wit sometimes! I'll keep the drama to a minimum next time! ;)
