B4me apprentice Syed Abbass at Beechfield Bonsai
A shout out to B4me apprentice Syed Abbass @owlsandbonsais for his work at Beechfield Bonsai this weekend. Balearing in mind that Syed only started doing bonsai in 2019, his work on this Shohin Itoigawa bonsai was excellent. Given its first styling last year by Morten Albek at the BonsaiLive Show, Syed re-wired the tree and took advantage of a years new growth to refine the image. . . #bonsai #juniper #beforeandafter

A Scots Pine bonsai at Beechfield bonsai
The ‘Italian Job’, a huge Scots Pine bonsai that I carved today at Beechfield Bonsai . A stunning big pine that was styled last year by Tomaž Kovšca at the BonsaiLive Show in Telford, the tree had a really ugly at its base that I took the opportunity of addressing today. I had to carve carefully; a very old 200+ year old tree, the deadwood has its own graining and aging so I didn’t really want to put artificial machine-carving over the top. So my task was to change the shape of the big lump of deadwood without touching the ages-old natural grain. Not an easy task and one that needed to be carried out with respect. . . #bonsai #pine #woodworking

Pine bonsai at Beechfield bonsai
So many images and video to share after a weekend at Beechfield Bonsai. This very well known Pine bonsai was collected in Switzerland and is known as the Swiss Dragon. Now part of the Beechfield Collection, it’s worth visiting the nursery in Telford just to see this tree. Originally collected in the Swiss Alps and recently acquired by Beechfield, it has been given a new styling and has come back into good health. A beautiful bonsai! . . #bonsai #pine
