Wow. Amazing tree. Cool technique. That power saw got thru that quick! And again, amazing tree. Great work!

Thanks! Perhaps it should have been a more obvious video edit, but the sawing section of the video was sped up because it was a bit boring. ;)

@@pacificbonsaimuseum ha! And I thought it was the sharpest quickest lil saw blade on earth

[@koriecreates]

That trimming with the small roots that was removed, will you or can you reuse it for a new bonsai? Love this content!

Thanks! Unfortunately, that removed section of roots would not be aesthetically valuable, and even if it were, buds would be very unlikely to sprout from it.
