Is that better? I know the moss will take a few days to grow in and cover the whole surface, but I'm going to start watering it with buttermilk to speed that up . . .

Glue is for noobs! I'm saving up to buy an imported rock that says "inner peace" on it . . . I think it will really enhance the tree's harmonic vibes.

Ok, so I let it rest and regain strength for a while. I feel like it's time to try out some advanced techniques, like hammering to increase the trunk size:

The swelling really worked wonders on the nebari. I had to remove the wire because it started biting into the trunk, and unfortunately it outgrew the subtle bend I imparted way back when I started this project.

I have a special meter for these kind of threads and it's pegged out:

All in due time. For now, the plan is to graft some elm foliage on tomorrow and enter it into the prestigious 'Ulmus Selfie Contest'

My attorney will be sending some papers your way for Trademark Infringement soon. This was a serious matter as two very generous people donated some very valuable pots as well as gift certificates for a mutual ebay auction.I'm registering my claim, and officially declaring this the honorary BonsaiNut.com 'Stick-In-A-Pot' image. Feel free to use it anywhere typing "stick-in-a-pot" would be too cumbersome or time consuming
. . . and feel free to tag me if you do; I'll be very proud.

Ah yes, I remember stumbling across that thread once before. It's tough to get the whole story from the threads here.
I wish someone had archived a picture of the stick and/or a screenshot of the auction . . . my attorney will request them during discovery, of course.

I had one that reads..."Hope". Not sure where it is actually. I think it jinxed my trees...

If you happen to find it, and it's small enough to mail easily, you know it has a home in this project!

I just got home after 15 hours at work. thank you for this thread. awesome.
but I think your pot selection is all wrong. it should be a rounded corner rectangle with cloud feet. midnight blue. to bring out the eyes of the figure.
hammer technique is clutch!
where's the moss?
