Cheng Cheng-Kung

Vonsgardens

Hi all, had the opportunity to participate in a workshop on juniper carving with Master Cheng while at the Golden State Bonsai Federation Convention in Anaheim. Full day of work, learned a lot and was truly impressed with his approach and technique. His website is located at http://sidiao.myweb.hinet.net/photo_e_8.htm
and a good deal of translation is provided by Ernie Kuo.

Really neat appreoach to carving, and he has some beautiful trees posted as well. If he is back in the states again I would highly recommend his demos and his workshops. Cheers,

John

Thanks for the link John, it really is interresting and frightening... Working with such big tools on a bonsaï! I would end up with a pile of saw dust...
