International Bonsai Master Mauro Stemberger has a new video out titled “QUERCUS FAGINEA“.  In this video Mauro and his helper work on a massive Oak tree from Spain. For this video I made notes as the video was playing. Here are some things Mauro covered and you can learn from: difference of wood fibers, tap roots, live veins, brushing deadwood, carving, defoliating, cascades, lime sulfur strengths, bending branches, branch placement, frame trunk line and forming a double apex. That is a lot of good stuff to watch and learn from. I have added the video to the Oak Bonsai page, under Deciduous Bonsai and Bonsai Tree Information pages. I have also listed the video under the following pages: Branch Bending, Deadwood, Developing Deciduous Bonsai Material, Wiring and Bending Techniques, Cascade (design).
