Deadwood is often found on specimens collected from the wild consisting of wounds or stumps occasionally from pruning operations or just natural forces. Andrés Bicocca’s credo is to transform these somewhat unsightly features, which some might view as problem areas, into particularly interesting and natural focal points. Using tools partly of his own design together with highly refined techniques, this Europe-based Argentinian achieves outstanding results on deadwood that have made him famous throughout the bonsai world and popular as a workshop teacher and demonstrator. In this book, Andrés shares his knowledge, skills and philosophy, illustrated with numerous examples and detailed photographs.
