Stunning trees indeed.
I really like the movement of the trunk in this one

Re: Sheoak Tube Stock
There was another one with similar girth but arguably more interesting movement that I missed drying out at one stage…. It never recovered which is probably one of the biggest regrets I have as far as bonsai related fatalities.
Live and learn…
I have one still to repot that I am thinking of growing out in a way similar to how I imagined that dead one developing… kind of a tribute tree!

Re: Sheoak Tube Stock
Gave this tree a trim today, and then decided it probably deserved a bit of wire to keep things in line.
I've also been doing work on the others in this thread, will need to update when I get around to taking some images.

I like that tree, nice flow in the trunk.
I often find that when I initially intend on just giving a tree a trim I end up getting fussy and wiring it too.

Re: Sheoak Tube Stock
Yeah, this is definitely a thing. It's hard to leave it after you go to the trouble of cutting back ... I really wanted to compress the top bend on the trunk so once that got underway, there was no stopping until the rest was wired too.

Re: Sheoak Tube Stock
Update with images for a few of the other ones as promised.
I'm pretty sure the styling won't be to everybody's taste (there's a bit of a pine vibe in there I think) ... but you can't please all the people all the time!

Re: Sheoak Tube Stock
Best not to please anyone but yourself when making little trees I think. These are becoming great trees Reece! I'm interested to see how the branches will mature. Can you make them dense like a pine I wonder?
Cheers,
