I picked out a couple of stock plants for him to work on. Large juniper and a nice size corky bark elm.

I've heard he is very entertaining on top of his skills working on bonsai.

See you all there.

HI Guys

I am very happy that you all seem to have enjoyed the demo, when doing demos it is hard to work out if the audiance really like it or are they being nice and do not want to hurt your feelings.

I had a great time doing the demo and was very happy to meet up with some Ausbonsai friends and make some new ones.
A big thanks to Bonsai Northwest for giving me the opportunity and the supply of some great material to work on which always makes doing a demo a little easier.

Cheers
Skippy

PS: any of you guys from Tassie I will see you next weekend and have been sent some pics of great material for me to work on. till then
Good Mates, Good Times, Good Bonsai !!!!
