It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Love it Skip. That is a reasonably large tree and being a white pine is also a reasonably rear species in Aus bonsai, so more congratulations. I would also be interested to see the pot that Peter has recommended.
Great start, lets see it progress.

PS - Can you afford the recommended pot?

Really nice tree Chris

Unless the window and the person I can see in it are both minature, then this is a serious sized tree

Good luck with it - I hope you have some students to wire it for you.

Regards
Steve

Nice white pine Skippy. Its very hard to see a good example of white pines in Australia. I did have one that i worked > on to severely and it carked it. I have found them to be a bit touchy and not predictable like the black pine. I have a few i am experimenting on. Are you going to leave it that leggy or is the plan to make it a little more compact?. Enjoy it.

Hi All
Thanks for you nice coments, I had the tree in my collection for 3 years before I started to work it, I was told the white pine was a little touchy in Sydney so I needed to be certain of the care needed for the tree & that it would be alright in my climate. The tree is quiet big & cost me a fair bit & is very unique, I plan to complete the wire & styling this summer & pot it in late Autumn. I have attched Peters drawing which I requested be in black & white as i prefered this to colour.
Hope you all like it.

Cheers
Chris

nice work skip, i love the vision of where this one is going! cant wait to see some more progression on it :D

great tree and i bet it cost a mint too :D man i wish i had something like that but my climate would probly kill it quicker than chopping it at the base and pouring petrol on it.

great work again :D love it.

regards jamie :D
