In the past I had offered these planting sticks to Bt'ers early in the forum days. At that time I was selling them for 5.00 each. They are made of tropical and domestic hardwoods and rather usefull for many bonsai tasks. the least of which is disentangleing roots. They also work well for removing soil from the root ball and breaking it up. They make very nice pointers while talking about your tree during a club show and tell.
They work very well for showing off the front of the tree as a marker in the nursery can while you are dazzeling everyone at the club meeting. They look nice and the best thing, they are free! Some are lamainated, some are basic black and white. The one of cherry with a thin stipe looks like a longboard. Good for some of you Surfer Santa Cruz folks!
Look me up at the convention, give me your forum name and pick up your stick. I have 38 to give away. First come first, gone!
