Post [GLBS] Sharpening Bonsai Tools

Sharp tools are an absolute necessity when cutting or trimming bonsai. Sharp tools will give you clean cuts that are smooth edged so that they will heal over properly. If a cut is not smooth, the cambium will try to heal over but will not be able to do a good job. If the cut does not heal over all the way, the part of the heart wood left exposed will rot. Remember the smaller the cut, the quicker the wound will heal.

The best cheapest and easiest way to sharpen all of your bonsai tools is by using the sharpener that Joshua Roth sells--It is a small orange handled piece of steel. This tool is just amazing!!!
