All of you lace wearing nancy boys should give up bonsai and go join a sewing circle.
What a pathetic clutch of spineless ciphers of what were once men, with dust in their souls, cobwebs in their brain pans and piss in their veins.
Matt I'm sure it was with the greatest reluctance you banned that poor bugger a fortnight ago. Great reluctance indeed and I hope you notice how firmly my tongue is up side of my cheek. Banning them that don't tow your line seems to be one of your major pleasures.

only post if you can help, whats the point in a post like this?

Back to the question at hand, if you have Craig Coussins - The Bonsai School, there is an article in there by John Hanby on the styling of a blue atlas cedar, i have seen this tree and it is truly beautiful, un"finished" as yet, but still fantastic

For those who don't know already, "Harry_Flashman" is the same user "Markp1964" who was banned about a week ago for making an inappropriate post hitting up two women on the Welcome thread and then complaining when the post was removed with logic and language similar to that he's posted above.

He's been banned yet again, and I had to block the IP address, which is a step I hate to take because there is a very remote chance it will block a legitimate user when the IP is recycled, but it's something that has to be done.

Regards,

Matt

P.S. Mark/Harry: http://www.rant-rave.com/ is the place to go. They are waiting to embrace you! No censorship, no rules, and probably no bonsai either.

I may try to find it used on Amazon; they usually have great deals on bonsai books. Anyway, thanks again. All the best, JDL

I stick with the comments I have made there http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthr...84607#post84607 I dont own a Cedar so I will not comment on the question, (just as I would have done even without the promt in the original post, as I have no valuable advise to give on the subject).

Check out http://www.JimGremel.com and see for yourself. I went to a workshop he gave and I can certify that he's a real one! =('): __________________ Ladybug
