On another related note....while tending my bonsai early this morning I was thinking about this thread and realized that using wire to shape bonsai is a relatively new technique in the world of bonsai. In fact it was looked down upon for quite awhile before it was finally accepted as a legitimate practice.

Before wiring for shape was accepted, you had clip and grow, strings as guy wires, or strings with weights. These techniques worked for many years without wire, it is truly strange to see guy wires being called ineffective now.
