After 17 years in bonsai I FINALLY feel like I understand how to wire soundly and that only now I can BEGIN truly learning.
This didn't come about by pretty pictures of before-and-after trees. It came about by first observing Kathy Shaner doing something odd with her wire, and secondly reading a
technical article on wiring...
so technical as to be presented as a proof of a theorem. This article confirmed what I thought I was observing.
An article like this wouldn't make it into BT despite it's value, but I made sure it made it into our club's April newsletter!
