Your videos where you show the progress of a tree over months and months are impressive because they demonstrate how much planning you've put into this channel, even before any videos were posted. But these videos shot only in the present show off just how polished your style and on-camera demeanor have become. Excellent, clear, and engaging as always. Also, that tanuki base is crazy; it's a shame you never found a plant to match it.
Oh, I liked Harvey-cat! I have had 2 brown tabbies in my life. The first was Clarence ( soo laid back and cool 😎), and the second, Simon, lived with us for 23 years! Brown tabbies are such good cats! Harvey can visit any time!
Had to watch the video several times… around minute 1:30 a gorgeous cat came on stage and trees got lost in my peripheral view! Jokes aside, very informative video, thank you!
Sorry to hear that! I will tell Harvey-cat to not disturb the video recording process no more. If you watch carefully, this fur baby jumps in view every so often. And it is not even our cat!
Great work po n this video Jelle. I appreciate you explaining how to treat dead wood and giving us options. Looks like I have some work to do. Thank you for sharing!
I would like to try creating deadwood one one of the trees I purchased after the holidays. I am waiting for spring to do anymore work on them. See how many survive first.
Interesting video topic. I regularly use cyanoacrylate, but had not heard of Paraloid 72. Your warning about Paraloid 72 also applies to cyanoacrylate in that you can't easily change the wood's appearance after it's applied, so any bleaching or other treatment needs to be done first.
:) I promise you, it is NOT in the making right now. I have more plants than I can keep in my garden so I am trying to reduce before I start new stuff. THis youtube channel does not help, because I seem to do new projects all the time!
Excellent coverage of the topic and I love that massive piece of deadwood. I had never heard about the plastic balls before. So when are you starting the tanuki project??? Cheers, Xav
Glad you enjoyed it! I am not sure when I will start. I will need to thing of the right plant to put on. And I need to sell a few projects, and maybe toss away a few boxes of cuttings!!
Great video. Thanks! What ratio did you use in terms of acetone and paraloid 72? Suggestions range from 5-25 percent paraloid 72 for wood preservation when I did a search...
Very interesting, I know of the second glue and Jin liquid. The other options are new for me! Thank you very much(ps: 26 februari ga ik naar de bonsai expo in Genk, zijn er nog mensen die daarnaartoe gaan? Of vorige jaren daar geweest zijn?)
It occurs to me that, given the use of oils metioned in the video, petroleum jelly may be an alternative, longer lasting "preservative", has anybody given that a try?
in leatherwork, to protect the leather, we mix neatsfoot oil (or mineral) into melted beeswax to get the wax to soak into the leather to preserve and protect it, this video made me wonder if the same concept would work in such a situation with deadwood. also made me think that you could use such an oil that would not leave a color. i really don't like the idea of using plastics and chemicals in this area to essentially plasti dip a tree into permanence. why not just 3D print bonsai? i feel a large part of bonsai is the stewardship and connection with nature. something about using synthetics in such a way seems far too artificial.
Hi, I am not sure what the end result would be. I agree plastics are a step too far for many. However, in many cases it is the only realistic way to preserve wood for decades, if in constant contact with water

Wow, that is a compliment and a half. Thank you so much!

:) Harvey does as harvey wishes. It is a cat after all. But Harvey is old with a few health issues so we are concerned..

Go play with some wood my friend!
Great video jelle! Thanks for letting us know the secrets
My pleasure!! Glad to hear you enjoyed that!
Great video Jelle
Doing a Tanuki soon myself fella.
That is a cool stump you have will make a great Tanuki 👍👍
Thanks 👍 Looking forward to making something out of mine. Key is to follow the grain of the wood when carving the channel!

Ceating deadwood is easy. Making sure the rest of the tree does not die by it though..
Great informative video Jelle. 👍
Glad you liked it!

Thx John, good addition!

@@GrowingBonsai Maybe I can help you with that problem come summer? 🙂👍
@@greenmachinesweden you are planning to drop by?
@@GrowingBonsai Not planning, but who knows what happens?
Amazing tree! 👍💚
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Jelle, can you give an update on how well the paraloid 72 has worked over time?
It works really well for me. Have you seen th-cam.com/video/5snKIbzDbPw/w-d-xo.html ?

@@GrowingBonsai I know how you feel. This year is sort out' time. No more cuttings and no more purchases :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat I happen to know you are taking cuttings this month though!
@@GrowingBonsai But only for an experiment and if any take then they will be given away. I promise...

To be honest, I just dissolve the stuff to saturation!
Nyimak kawan Vidio yg bagus .
Terimakasih temanku
Thanks Jelle.
What was the name of the plastic material ? Can you spell it please ?
You mean paraloid b72? I am planning to bring out a longer video on the product around christmas
Very interesting, I know of the second glue and Jin liquid. The other options are new for me! Thank you very much(ps: 26 februari ga ik naar de bonsai expo in Genk, zijn er nog mensen die daarnaartoe gaan? Of vorige jaren daar geweest zijn?)
I am there every time. This year I will be there 4 days, so expect a video or two in the days after!
Please make a video on how to remove green algae from bonsai trunks
Will do! Was in fact thinking about this over the weekend!
@@GrowingBonsai : Wow...thats great 😀cant wait to check out the video then
@@GoodSamaritan1972 no promises as to when I wi have it :)
@@GrowingBonsai : No worries my friend. Keep up the good work and wishing you the best.
@@GoodSamaritan1972 Thx!
Jelle you can use pva glue
No 7thanks
Thx Philip!
One upvote for Jelle and another for the scene stealing kitty - if only they could speak!
:) But they do! Just not with the words we use!
Which is best sir?
It all depends on the purpose
It occurs to me that, given the use of oils metioned in the video, petroleum jelly may be an alternative, longer lasting "preservative", has anybody given that a try?
no idea. I do use it on wounds of coniferous trees
It stay yellow and never bleach even6month on the sun ! with lime sulfur... I dont understand ....
Hm.. Never had that happen myself. Where did you get the limesulfur? Maybe wrong production batch? Or, do you use it on dry wood?
in leatherwork, to protect the leather, we mix neatsfoot oil (or mineral) into melted beeswax to get the wax to soak into the leather to preserve and protect it, this video made me wonder if the same concept would work in such a situation with deadwood. also made me think that you could use such an oil that would not leave a color. i really don't like the idea of using plastics and chemicals in this area to essentially plasti dip a tree into permanence. why not just 3D print bonsai? i feel a large part of bonsai is the stewardship and connection with nature. something about using synthetics in such a way seems far too artificial.
