Late October 2014: In late October I was pleased to publish an article revealing how an easily-available house-hold product could be used to clean bonsai tools, and in particular, carving bits, quickly and effectively. Cleaning Bonsai Tools and Wood-Carving Bits

Late October 2014: A stunning Juniper sabina I received into my garden at the end of October, imported from Spain. 29cm/11.5" in height, the tree was still absolutely raw, as-collected from the Spanish mountains in 2012 and never worked on before. (More images on the following page).
