Jfecme,
Actually what I find is when someone posts something of this nature, that it is simply beyond the ability of most people to comment. It's easy to comment about a stick in a pot.... commenting about a tree which challenges ones abilities, and calls for artistry or originality... thats tough. Only a tiny handful here are able or willing to do so.
The deterioration that has occured is minor compared to it's possibilities, in fact dramatic deadwood is the magical element in all great bonsai. I bought this tree specifically BEACUSE of it's aged and delaminating condition. If you are unaware of preservation techniques for dead wood in this condition, I would be happy to write a tutorial expounding on the method we will be using to keep the fragil wood in tact. It would have been a shame to pass up on a tree with genuine character just because it needs a little preservation work.
Kindest regards,
Victrinia
