Welcome to the Saruyama Blog, intermittent and generally off topic. Occasionally you might see some trees...and weird ones at that.

A long journey finished, another begins...

Apologies for not posting anything recently, most of the recent stuff has been a bit off on a tangent anyway, sorry for that, seems to have bored most people into silence. One of the reasons for my silence is that I have been on a bit of a trek recently, physically as well as mentally. 3000 miles in three days solid driving...nice. It has taken me a week to get over it! More on that later. you can find out a little back ground detail in this new article here

More of the Bonsai Basho videos have gone on line....part one of a series on tools. It is for beginners mainly I guess but there will be something in it for anyone who uses Bonsai tools. I know I go on about it a lot and it now means I have to practice what I preach.



Just yesterday I worked on a phenomenal collected yew that a student of mine had picked up for an absolute bargain price. I wish that I had gotten to it first....as per usual I didnt have my camera with me so I will wait for him to send me some pictures. We will get round to sand blasting it over the winter or next year. I am in the process of building a sand blasting kit, so expect some pictures of that soon. Have four days of workshops from tomorrow so will get some pictures there as well. I really need to work on this self promotion thing....
