Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
I think I'll stick with the raffia, however. When the branch cracks during bending, I would think the moisture in raffia would help it heal.

Interesting technique Rob. I would like to see it done in person. The black pine looks great. I am not sure about that lowest branch though.

Rob,
Didn't know you were going to the workshops.

I also heard about the use of rubber instead of raffia. Quentin mentioned it to me. Would be interesting if anyone out there has had any experience with both methods and comparison notes. I guess a Japanese master saying it is better and has been using it for 5 years is a pretty good indication of its advantageous use over raffia.

Rob,
Thanks for the pictures. That is a pretty cool technique with the rubber tube. Did he happen to mention if he uses it on smaller branches too?

Rob,
I guess I wasn't clear. I should have asked on branches or trunks that are smaller that would normally require raffia to protect for heavy bending is the rubber still used?

Thanks
Adam
