BonsaiVault has an article by International Bonsai Master Dan Robinson titled ‘Deadwood and Carving – “EVERY TREE DESERVES DEADWOOD”‘. This is a very high quality, long, in depth article filled with good instructions on deadwood. One of the best articles I have seen on deadwood. I have added the article to the Deadwood pages, under Bonsai Basics. I would copy and paste this article onto a word document page and save it on your computer and you will have it forever.
