Giga, there is the phrase "Wiring is Bonsai, Bonsai is wiring".I think wiring is the most tedious thing done in bonsai but one of the most important. I remember wireing up my large spruce last fall and it took around 6-7 hours total. Starts out fun then after and couple hours your fingers turn sappy and discolored and needing a good beer lol.
This guy has glory ahead of it now that it's in caring hands, looking forward to more pics.
And, yes, it's tedious. As is needle pulling. And defoliating ramified Zelkova, and... Well, you get the idea!
I once asked Owen Reich what was the first thing that struck him as different between the way we do bonsai here in the USA, and the way they do it in Japan. (Owen apprenticed in Japan). He said, "Attention to detail".
