OK... don't really have a lot to say for this, so I'll keep it brief...

Monumentally Epic.

Spectacular mate.
Love the detail of the carving. Awesome job.
Like so many others, you’ve inspired me to have a go.
Now all I’ve got to do is find a dead one.
Shouldn’t be to hard.

That looks absolutely sensational!
Keen to learn how to make something like this one day.
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks alpineart much appreciated. It's definitely looking like it was always 1 tree.
Cheers.

Hi Ryceman3 , speechless is good , must have impressed .

Hi DocPep, its only minor detailing , I'll give it a few months to crack up and finish it . Inspiration is good , motivation take a bit more effort but it worth a go . A nice piece of wood is the hardest piece to find , any shitty juniper can be used .

Hi Banong , thanks mate . The foliage will be pulled down for the final shape after the 2 coats of lime sulphur have dried which will take some time with plenty of rain being forecast over the next week . This topic should have enough details to be able to challenge yourself .

Hi Slatzy , mate it was well and truly thought out , still has the screws in the branches on close inspection can be seen . It certainly look like the real deal .

Cheers Guys . Alpine

Congrats on a truly impressive tree.Good to see quality Oz Bonsai

Hi Dean , thanks for the feedback . Definitely Aussie bonsai , still a bit rough around the edges but can only improve with time . I'm considering this as the new front Cheers . Alpine

Holy sh!te.
Amazing work Alps.
Loving the fusion going on here.
Really looking the part!

Hi Biocs , mate considering its under 5 years old its looking pretty danm good a little bit more wiring done today and a bit of manipulation and it can grow on unhindered for a while now .

It nice to finally have a light weight big trainer to move around , need to lighten a few more as well .

Cheers Alpine

This was looking a bit woolly so a trim was in order , Yes i did spend a bit of time on it ..

Cheers Alpineart

I have not seen this thread before. I want to swear .... but only in a good way. I won't write what I said - actually, I will. It started with F and ended in me.

wow!

Skill ...yes; talent...yes but it's the vision. Inspired, I reckon.

Alpineart - who ever you are - a tip of the hat in your direction.

Hi MJL , been here for years, just been out of action for most of the year and still in medical crisis with the same problem I have with Bonsai .
Pushing myself to the limit has resulted in big injuries hence no work on bonsai this season until now and its painful to see the stock go without maintenance
Building a big bonfire to reduce 50% of my stock is the only solution i can think of , having too many tree's and not being capable of looking after them any more has plagued me for some time .

Cheers . Alpineart

A bit wild a woolly so to let a bit of air circulate over winter its had another hard cut back {Hack and Chop} A good clean of both trunks with a toothbrush was in order then another hit with lime sulphur Wiring well that's not on the agenda .

Cheers Alpineart

I hadn't seen this before, what a great thread and what a great tree. I love seeing Junipers after their Winter prune and this tree has made my day.

Have you decided on a front? I love the big sweeping branch when it goes from right to left.

Matt.

I don't disagree with Matt but I reckon this looks good from a multitude of angles. Great tree, looking awesome after the work today ... lovely job. I think this is the best phoenix graft I've seen, it's super good!
