Hello, Olga!

Dallas Bonsai Garden has very good tools at quite reasonable prices. I have
several tools from their catalog. Their stainless steel tools are
excellent. They require little maintenance and retain a very sharp edge.

Plus, they have a nice, large, user-friendly site.

I would suggest a pair of concave cutters, medium- to heavy-duty shears and
a pair of blunt-nosed wired cutters. Other things will present their
usefulness as time goes by.

Subject: [IBC] Tools question


Hello,
What is the list of tools that are necessary for a beginner? I have a
Serissa and planning to get this Spring a Juniper and Trident Maple ( trees
that I can keep outside all year in Toronto).
I prefer to buy good quality things that cost a bit more, but there is no
need to change them every season. So where do I start? Is Bonsai Network
Japan (http://www.j-bonsai.com/index.html) a good place to order? Or may be
there is a place in Toronto?
Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,
Olga
