Ji ita

The older you get it is more easy to loose your balance or to stumble over something...   As I am quite clumsy I do stumble quite often.  Sometimes it is a tree with a good potential to become a bonsai or a nice piece of wood...

This is the result of one of my stumbling over a piece of root: hand made jiita...

Plates cut with the foxtail saw



The texture of these plates is excellent   38 x 15 cm


Drying.  I have found that old newspapers are quite handy for this process.



Rough removal of the bark with steel brush


 Manual cleaning with a steel pricker


What's next?   Drying, drying and drying.

...to be continued.
