Hi ... I have a question about wiring for the literati
style. A local bonsai specialist who supplies a couple
of Baltimore nurseries (Martha Meehan) has exquisite
literati designs for her bonsai.

But I cannot figure out how she is able to create deep
curves to the woody trunks and stems. Is it because she
starts early when the trunks/stems are still green and
pliable? Or is it incremental bending of the woody
trunk/stem over time?

I hope some of you bonsai experts on the list can shed
some light on these wiring techniques.

thanks,
shireen
