It's funny, but right now, I'd rather slow nature down. In my location, I've got close to 2 months left of potentially freezing weather to deal with, but the trees in my cold room don't care... still dormant but not for long. Have a great weekend!!
I know. Some 250 trees here, maybe half of them buds popping. Last frost date first week of May.. Just hoping we will not get any real frost here anymore. But well.. The shed will take some I suppose, although my back might object.

I would go back to some of the pine from seed contests. Ultimately it comes down to... have a great idea? Make it happen! We are very excited to see the results. But if you wish to ignore the advice and experience of those who have come before - it becomes a question of "put up or shut up". Talk is cheap. A nice JBP bonsai six years from seed? Not so easy
Thank you. I didn't see how to separate seeds from cone nor seeds themselves but I'm sure that's on youtube. Maybe the OP has some quality inputI always just use Sheffields for seed info.

We get it you own lots of clamps. Just kidding looks like it’s well made.
In woodworking, you need a lot of clamps… All shapes and sizes… You can never have enough clamps. In Bonsai, you need a lot of pots… All different shapes and sizes… You can never have enough bonsai pots
I totally agree. That joke was just what popped into my head first, so of corse I had to say it.In woodworking, you need a lot of clamps… All shapes and sizes… You can never have enough clamps. In Bonsai, you need a lot of pots… All different shapes and sizes… You can never have enough bonsai pots
... and while we're at it, guess how many bonsai shears I have (think double digits
)?
Well with all the talk about other "equipment" showing contests, it was an easy leap
Hey , is this it?
I’m planning some new portable tables . I like your simple bottom brace idea thanks
I just started some seeds that came from a Kokonoe JWP; I collected the already opened fresh cones (from the end of the branches) in fall. Some of the seeds fall out with a shake but I pick them apart to get all the seeds. I didn't do any warm stratification like some websites suggest. I soaked them for 24 hr and did 60 days cold stratification in the fridge. 5 of around 25 seeds came up. I threw the rest of the seeds in a pot outside, I can report back if those have more success. Collect lots of seeds, and if you have a tree I wouldn't buy seed.Thank you. I didn't see how to separate seeds from cone nor seeds themselves but I'm sure that's on youtube.
