I love how people have absolutely no insight in building bonsai, and make it so blatantly obvious.

Take it with a shrug and a smile. Realize you have MUCH better insight in potential of raw stock than 95% of the people I see growing bonsai.

What??? This is not a proof I am a grand master???
Of course Jelle, all I can do is smile
I like what I am doing and comments like these show me that I am on a good way
But I have no aspirations to become a GRAND MASTER :silly:
Just to create nice trees.

The fastest way to being a grand master is by just creating -ever better- nice trees. Sorry to disappoint

... and now everybody is wondering if they belong to the 95 or the 5%

Mimo we are the Bonsai Empire.
FB is the kingdom of the idiots.

But... You are right, take it as a compliment! Congrats!

@ LucR - haha :woohoo:
@ Clicio - cheers mate.
To make sure everyone got my point - I took as a compliment the fact that the guy cannot believe the styled tree is the same as raw material pictured there, that it is really created from That compliments the transformation
The last sentence there is just an opinion of a guy who doesn´t know as much about bonsai as he thinks he does :lol:

Nah, only 95% of the people doing bonsai are wondering. The rest knows
