In this short video i will show you, how i made my first concrete bonsai slab / pot. A whole project did take 7 days , but it worth every single minute. Really enjoyed the make of it and i am pretty sure i will create more of them very soon; here is what have used for the whole project:
Cement, Sand, Wooden box, bucket , mixer paddle, cement colour, some rocks, 6mm wire mesh, acrylic paint (3 different colours) , some brushes, a carving machine, spoon, pallet knife and some wire...
Hope you will enjoy it watching as i did enjoyed making it :)

What a fabulous piece!! I can't believe it ONLY took a week for you to make that! Just stunning results! I love doing dry brushing. I think there is so much artistic control you have with adding thin layers one at a time. Just beautiful! So happy you started a channel with all that talent!

I had been looking for this video since I saw you and Adam use this pot for the cypress forest. This video answers a lot of questions. When I first saw the pot in the before mentioned video, I thought it may have been made using cloth and concrete. You have a real zen factor Atilla.

The sand/rock texture on the slab turned out amazing! Been looking for this kind of technique for a while to make realistic rock textures. Now I know how. Do you think a rocky shaped pot could be made by adding concrete to a deeper sand box?

@FangornBonsai 5 ай бұрын

Sure, why not ;) Try it out and let me know ;)

@matshagstrom9839 5 ай бұрын

Exceptional work. I’ve been interested in cement/concrete art for years. My only concern is using this material in horticultural practice because of the alkaline nature. I have used cement pots that I have soaked in water for months and it seems like the low ph remains for months despite soaking in water. My tap water is already alkaline due to additives(chloramines) I know microbes will produce acid in the long term but plant health and ph are pretty important. Any thoughts? Thank you for a great video!!!

@FangornBonsai 5 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot! My thoughts about using cement pots: That they can have a slightly alkaline pH, which may affect the soil acidity over time. Some trees prefer slightly acidic soil, so you may need to adjust your soil mixture accordingly. I have also using water seal on my pots, 2-3 layers just in case, so far so good ☺

@chrisgunnerson8042 3 ай бұрын

You said you used cement for the slab and then used concrete for the rest. Did you put any aggregate in the concrete when mixing for the pot , or just sand and concrete? Really liked the project hoping to make my own!

@@chrisgunnerson8042 Sorry for the confusion Chris. I only used cement and water mix, but i am thinking of using hypertufa next time.

I really love it. I spend most of my time with Concrete trying to make it smooth :-) I do have a question… How do you work out for drainage? I didn't see any holes. Also an observation I do the dry brush technique with my fingers.

@FangornBonsai 2 ай бұрын

Hey. I did considered the tree species before building a pot, also as it is slanted the water will just run off . Will use Swamp Cypress trees which they can even stand in water ☺

@stevefreshour 3 ай бұрын

Incredible and inspiring! What is your concrete mix and have you experimented with hypertufa? 1/3 portland cement, 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite or vermiculite…. I have so many new ideas now so thank you!!
