Your videos where you show the progress of a tree over months and months are impressive because they demonstrate how much planning you've put into this channel, even before any videos were posted. But these videos shot only in the present show off just how polished your style and on-camera demeanor have become. Excellent, clear, and engaging as always. Also, that tanuki base is crazy; it's a shame you never found a plant to match it.

Great video jelle! Thanks for letting us know the secrets

Great work po n this video Jelle. I appreciate you explaining how to treat dead wood and giving us options. Looks like I have some work to do. Thank you for sharing!

Great informative video Jelle. 👍

Amazing tree! 👍💚

Oh, I liked Harvey-cat! I have had 2 brown tabbies in my life. The first was Clarence ( soo laid back and cool 😎), and the second, Simon, lived with us for 23 years! Brown tabbies are such good cats! Harvey can visit any time!

Great video Jelle Doing a Tanuki soon myself fella. That is a cool stump you have will make a great Tanuki 👍👍

Looking forward forward for that tanuki video!

Interesting video topic. I regularly use cyanoacrylate, but had not heard of Paraloid 72. Your warning about Paraloid 72 also applies to cyanoacrylate in that you can't easily change the wood's appearance after it's applied, so any bleaching or other treatment needs to be done first.

I would like to try creating deadwood one one of the trees I purchased after the holidays. I am waiting for spring to do anymore work on them. See how many survive first.

Excellent coverage of the topic and I love that massive piece of deadwood. I had never heard about the plastic balls before. So when are you starting the tanuki project??? Cheers, Xav

Had to watch the video several times… around minute 1:30 a gorgeous cat came on stage and trees got lost in my peripheral view! Jokes aside, very informative video, thank you!

Very interesting, I know of the second glue and Jin liquid. The other options are new for me! Thank you very much(ps: 26 februari ga ik naar de bonsai expo in Genk, zijn er nog mensen die daarnaartoe gaan? Of vorige jaren daar geweest zijn?)

One upvote for Jelle and another for the scene stealing kitty - if only they could speak!

Jelle you can use pva glue No 7thanks

Which is best sir?

👍👌🙂👌

Please make a video on how to remove green algae from bonsai trunks

It occurs to me that, given the use of oils metioned in the video, petroleum jelly may be an alternative, longer lasting "preservative", has anybody given that a try?

It stay yellow and never bleach even6month on the sun ! with lime sulfur... I dont understand ....

in leatherwork, to protect the leather, we mix neatsfoot oil (or mineral) into melted beeswax to get the wax to soak into the leather to preserve and protect it, this video made me wonder if the same concept would work in such a situation with deadwood. also made me think that you could use such an oil that would not leave a color. i really don't like the idea of using plastics and chemicals in this area to essentially plasti dip a tree into permanence. why not just 3D print bonsai? i feel a large part of bonsai is the stewardship and connection with nature. something about using synthetics in such a way seems far too artificial.
