International Bonsai Master Michael Hagedorn has a new article out titled “3-D Printed Slab for a Shore Pine…“. Now that title should get your attention. Printing out a slab of all things. What is next 3-D printing out a whole tree in a pot! Just kidding or am I? Back to the article, Michael walks through the process and then mounts the tree/slab to a post. All in all it looks really good. I have added the video to the Pinus Contorta – Shore/Lodgepole Pine Bonsai page under Pines Bonsai and Conifers Bonsai and Bonsai Tree Information pages.
