I collected this pine in 2018 from a concrete slab like the rest of my pines. I tried to put some movement into the trunk last year and after I saw it holds shape, I styled it few months ago. And yesterday I gently slip potted it into it?s first training pot. Long way ahead of it, and as this stays in my collection, I am looking forward to it. I know - bar branch. That will be adressed at the later stage when I have some other to fill in the space.

Sometimes it doesn't matter.
Special trees don't have to follow the usual rules.
Congrats, it's beautiful Mimo.

Thanx Clicio.
I wouldn?t mind that branch only if the spot it grows from with the other branch didn?t swell in the future.
I wouldn?t like a bulge there.
So any sign of the spot thickening up, I am cutting it off

Cheers Luc 
Yep wood block is great for these bends, no need for fancy expensive tools if they?re not absolutelly necessary I think

I got the best compliment for my work so far in 1 bonsai group on fb, and it was regarding this tree 
It was to before and after pic, no pics in between as I posted here.

Congratulations Mimo. Finally someone recognizes publicly that you are a grand master in bonsai development.
I love how people have absolutely no insight in building bonsai, and make it so blatantly obvious.
Take it with a shrug and a smile. Realize you have MUCH better insight in potential of raw stock than 95% of the people I see growing bonsai.
