I was wondering about that too, does everyone else know the term? I googled it and here's what came up: http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthread.php?t=2325 Seems that Bonsaial1 posted examples of different types of nebari, one was "oilspill" which got changed down the thread to "oilslick." |

Thanks Bruce!
And I have to say that I *do* like them. I'm surprised it is is even contentious. I like them for no other reason than I think they are beautiful. Not becuase they are big, or difficult, or becsause I've seen 'em on the cover of a magazine. I just think they are beautiful. If you don't make fun of me for liking oilslick nebari, I won't make fun of you for loving your fat wife!  Cheers, Jim |
