Coming upon the perfect deciduous find in the growing fields of Driftwood bonsai, it occurred to us that the raft style design has been written on and photographed, but never captured on camera in its creation from beginning to end. This week, we walk through the process of raft design by repotting and styling a hornbeam to lay its trunk partially underground, converting its branches into raft-style trunks. Expand your understanding of creative bonsai endeavours by learning the techniques that will enable you to turn your deciduous material into a raft bonsai composition.
