With regard to table to pot asthetics, there is no gray area. It's either right or it's wrong. When a person gets a prize tree potted with the correct pot, and the two seem perfect, it's time to commission a table for the final treatment.

Perfect hair and perfect shoes coupled to a off the rack suit is tacky.

I find in America not enough attention is payed to the accoutrements of bonsai. From soil to tools, scrolls to tables we are sorely lacking. When I had an internet site and made more tables per year, I had a business called "Stand of Trees". Catchy huh! My tag line read: " Don't put your tree on a pedestal, put it on a stand!"

To a person that makes a table or two per year, I look at tables. I look for inspiration to make for myself. I have not seen many inspiring tables lately....that reminds me I have to build a table for sensai by June 5th. I better get cracking!

Cheers, Al
