Wooow you did an excellent job! I also agree with your choise of using a young plant because in a few years it will have merged very naturally with the dead wood and will be a real living sculpture! Congratulations my friend! 👍👍👍🔥

Congratulations, very nice project. It was a great pleasure for me to be able to watch you design it. thank you very much and good luck. Greetings from switzerland

Karyamu menginspirasi,membuat bonsai Tanuki dengan pohon yang masih muda akan menghasilkan bonsai yang indah pada waktunya 👍👍👍

Lovely lovely lovely dude. Very envious of your location 👍👍👍

I think is the best decission, to cook it slowly with an small tree. As always, just great.

Wow ever video I watch becomes better and better. Showing your techniques with no commentary is even better, sometimes I think people talk too much in there videos; I like to hear what artists and tree are saying/feeling with to each other as they dance together in art of bonsai. Thank you Sir.

That's some outstanding work! I'd started my first major tanuki last year using some Grey Owl juniper, it endured it first winter with little die back. I look forward to seeing an update on yours.

Loved this video - excellent work!

When I look at your work I have the impression of a tree that came back from a long dormant period of life. I can follow your idea of taking a young tree and enjoy the journey in future. Tanuki is for me a good way to “revive” trees that did not survive my treatment. I like your style with no talks, essence only ❤

Tanuki are so interesting to me. I love the way this turned out! I don't know a thing about them yet but it appears you did a fantastic job. a great piece of dead juniper!

Yasou Fotis, that is awesome what a masterpiece this is and will look amazing in years to come. Take care and keep up your great work 👍🏼⭐️👍🏼

beautiful :) a day well spent

Not anticlimactic at all! It takes discipline to start the long journey of a Bonsai and not get carried away with instant gratification. Great job!

This is sooooo incredilble my friend! What a great find while hiking! If I ever find such a great treasure in the forest while hiking. I will feel like I have Won the Lottery!

I did not find the ending anticlimatic. Instead, I was amazed at how you attempted this tanuki, and filled with curiosity about how the tree will develop over the coming years! Brilliant job, my friend!👍

Eine beindruckende Hozskulptur. In unserem Hobby ist vor allem der Weg und die Entwicklung wichtig, die von unserer Idee vom Baum geprägt ist. Gratulation!

In a couple of years time, this will be an amazing tree. It seems you have a nice collection of trees already. Always a joy to watch your videos. Greetings!

good job

I truly hope you'll update us over the years. It will look amazing by year 4, I'm sure.

Un trabajo prolijo. Me gustaría ver la evolución del mismo. El problema de los tanukis, es el cuidado de la madera que, con el tiempo, termina deteriorándose. Salud

Bellissimo

Bonsai master. Thanks for sharing. I'm actually making another tanuki with a dead juniper I killed last summer.

🤩

i think you should carve that live vein so as the trunk swells it will set automatically i and you will not need to add new nails over and over

Is the best

Me encanta tu canal y tus contenidos. Pero esta vez es un trabajo con el que no estoy de acuerdo. No creo que haya sido buena idea no tallar un canal en la madera con la sección en forma de "C", para insertar el plantón de itoigawa y quede realmente integrado. Si no se hace con un canal bien tallado nunca va a parecer un verdadero árbol con madera muerta y una vena viva. Me parece una mala solución, lo siento 😞 Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu camino del bonsái con nosotros. Es un placer poder ver tus trabajos, incluso cuando no estoy de acuerdo. ¡GRACIAS! ❤ ¡Salud!

Maaf , tuan saya mau bertanya . Media tanam yang anda gunakan seperti pasir kerikil ,sebenarnya itu media apa, mohon penjelasannya, salam satu hobby . Saya berasal dari negara indonesia.

What did you brush on to the lower portion of wood after cleaning? Thanks

Please tell me where you are located, do you sell trees and what is your name? Thanks much!🦋

Get the tree ready do we need to watch you peck around

Well when I saw that stunning piece of deadwood I thought there was going to be a amazing tree attached to it. Sadly I was mistaken. Instead I witnessed a immature shoot being lost in the composition. Ended up ruining a lovely piece of driftwood
