I have some US native green Hawthornes that will need carving so I’ll probably come back to this for reference many more times before I go for them.

[@stefanorizzo1360]

Excellent work and nice result. Can I ask you what type of tip did you use for the Dreemel and where can I possibly buy it online? I have the same Dreemel, hello and thanks

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thank you m8, there is a link in the description to bonsai nibblers that is where i got it from ;)

[@stefanorizzo1360]

grazie mille @@houghtonbonsai

[@shuancook9005]

Do you find cutting the thorns off effects the bud at the base of the Thorne

[@houghtonbonsai]

No m8, i just took the tips/half of the thorn off. Hawthorn pruning during the winter months will encourage new flower production for the following spring

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Lovely bit of carving Ryan….what’s the drill bit called please and size. I have a trunk chop I’m going to have at go at carving, wish me luck, hopefully I will still have fingers following 😂

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Just spotted your links … thank you!

[@houghtonbonsai]

Cheers m8, and good luck with your carving ;)

[@andrewclack4881]

Hello Ryan. Where did you buy your nibbler from?

[@houghtonbonsai]

Hi Andrew all the links are in the description m8

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌

[@houghtonbonsai]

thank you

[@veganpullingpower6]

Go back to your tree .look at the middle branch at the back . its the highest one . Use that as your apex as you can not bend that top one. Cut it off then you will be able to create a tree . With correct apex .as there is no control on that large branch . Ive done the same as you have On one of mine. then did what i just suggested. You will get a much faster tree . Good luck

[@houghtonbonsai]

I did look at that m8, it is to thick to bend up to create a new leader and apex out off, plus if I used that I might as well have used the one I cut off as the back one would have made the tree straight as well, I will let it run it course for a bit and see what happens.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Foist?

[@houghtonbonsai]

Haha class 🤣🤣
