About wiring.

only raffia, grafting tape and a knobcutter. there were some nice trees for sure but most of the trees sold there are in close to finished state and the other stuff, i found to be rather pricey.
I know other places where i can buy cheaper. found a new spot last week, far from my home but i go there sometimes for work, bought 4 stones and a zelkova there, was damn heavy to bring back home by train.., right now im actually close to your friends home, daisaku nomotos nursery but i can not make time to go there this time, i visited the nursery twice before but i only met with his father as the son was in usa or somewhere

Daisaku was in California in January, and most recently he was a headliner at the Noelanders. He's a great guy, very easy going. I hope you get a chance to meet him.

Coming from a drawing and painting background, I could not think of bonsai without the use of wire. To me wire is bonsai. With wire I "draw" my trees.

I absolutely love this analogy!

Furthermore... I am free to judge bonsai by any standard I like. As are you. As is everyone else.

That's bullshit. You simply can't referee a soccer match with baseball rules; or judge a medieval poem by modern standards. To do that is to do violence to the thing judged. And to willfully chose not to understand it.
