Great lesson in accepting what is natural and some would say ugly and not someones vision of what is perfection. Thanks Arthur and JohnG. And what a great tree donated by Mr. Martin. Can't wait for it to be on display this spring in a beautiful pot donated by Ken. Well done guys.

Wonderful story and material! Arthur did a great job, as usual. I thought his explanation about why the deadwood snag is appropriate really was a light bulb moment for me. Thank you for putting the video together.

Hey, look at that- I got a cameo in this one too!
Standing on the sidelines with my arms crossed is an important supporting role... It is tough doing all the work! LOL
Seriously- it is so great to get to be around when you guys shoot these John... Wish I didn't have responsibilities and stuff that draw me away, I could have stayed all day and watched him work on this tree! Arthur is so fast and decisive when he is working on a tree... You Can tell he has great experience and had some very good training! I feel like I learn so much every time I go over to Ken's... Even if it is just a quick lesson on how to properly apply cut paste, or how to gauge the proper wire thickness a branch needs... This time I got to have my Maple looked at and worked on by the best group of Bonsai people in the Carolinas! In short- thanks to you and Ken and everyone for letting me hang out!
I took a few pics as well. if I get time- and you are cool with it- I will try to add a few to this thread. This was an impressive piece of material he brought! It is so great that the arboretum collection is comprised of so many American species... It just fits the location and Arthur is the perfect person to run it.

Great video on arguably my favorite species. Thanks for sharing this ad everything else.

Wow.
You know a tree has great depth when, for that second or so while spinning, you can't tell what direction it's spinning in.
Great stuff!

Great video jg. That's a beautiful tree. I'm really glad that it was allowed to be what it is, and not forced to be something else.
Nice work cleaning it up, too. Hey, what would bonsai be without bloody knuckles?

John,
Enjoyed the video very much. Very timely, I've been looking at a hornbeam that I collected two years ago. The film gives me a new point of view. Thanks to you and Arthur.

What a wonderful tree and a great story. For me, the story is what makes bonsai interesting. If I had to give up all but a few of my trees, I'd keep the ones that have a story behind them. Thanks for posting this John.
I'm sorry, I never did catch if the gentlemen that donated the tree is still alive?

GREAT video, glad that tree fell into AJ's hands instead of someone who would have taken it apart. Love the tree, thanks for the video!
