I can look past bad wire to "what will be". I can't see past a poor tree.


Need more data Chris.

Al, I disagree heartily with your Porsche metaphor. Please don't read too much into what I have said so far. I think bonsai is more than wiring. But bad wiring will not work as well. It will not accomplish what we want if it is not anchored properly. It will cut in in odd places if the coils are not laid carefully.

And just because someone wires well, do not think that I believe that makes bad material a good tree.

My point is that wiring is important, and it's a discipline worth learning and practicing. It will improve what we do.
