I saw this root hook on a woodworking tool website, and thought it needed saving. 
The thing is scary sharp.

I picked up this beauty today.
Not sure what it is. I think a ficus of some sort.
What a trunk!

Paul... I have similar one in working... left heavy cuts for spring. Are you concerned with several branches from one spot? ... ones I bought kind of the same. Plus mine are grafted relatively high... just under the whorl. Is this one grafted too?

This Satsuki prebonsai. It is healing a big scar and trunk is in development phase. I do not know what variety it is. It is planted in an inorganic substrate (akadama and pumice mix probably) and last repot was 2 years ago. I am planning to repot it to kanuma this spring.

If you look closely you can see the graft line but Ed's grafts are low and very good.

Forgot to take a picture of the price tag, but I found this... thing... at Volunteers of America for $5.99. (sorry about the yellow tint to the pictures)
I don't know about you but I was stunned. I understand, I think, that pot makers don't glaze the inside of a pot so that the tree can breath through the clay. In training some people use colanders and pond baskets that each have a network of holes allowing better transpiration.
This seems to be a happy medium... Clay.. Glaze on the inside.. Colander like holes..... and a Color I really love. It also came with a dish to sit on.

Yeah, it's not made for bonsai or any plant, it's a glazed clay colander. But I think it might work pretty well as a bonsai pot.

Okay okay so they say ignorance is bliss... I say not so. For years I was like wire cutters are wire cutters... Not so. Do yourself a favor, get some made for use on trees without damage to the tree ... OMG I've been so stupid. These are great and cheap. Stone Lantern for the win.
FYI - the main reason for not glazing the inside of a bonsai pot is so the roots can grip/adhere to the clay body some (YMMV depending on the individual clay body). There is no breathing through the clay, not in a properly fired/vitrified pot, at this stage the clay is fully chemically altered and should no longer be porous (also food safe). This is also referred to as stoneware vs. earthenware which is what we would class terra cotta pots as - which are still porous. Source, am potter.
