Some Serious New Bonsai Tools 10/5/09

chinese-toolsHere’s some of our new tools (there are more) by Bonsai Aesthetics. From left to right: Rook hook, Extra large branch jack, Extra large branch bender, branch lever, and Large branch jack.

Good tools and the price is right
A few months ago we introduced some of Robert Steven‘s new line of bonsai tools. Robert is the author of Mission of Transformation and Vision of My Soul, and is one of the world’s most innovative bonsai artists. Like many of us, Robert realized that Japanese tools are gradually being priced out for many people, while Chinese tools are coming up in quality. So Robert went to China and hand picked tools that he could stand behind. The result is his Bonsai Aesthetics line of bonsai tools.

More than meets the eye
So far your response to Bonsai Aesthetics tools has been excellent. Hundreds shipped and no complaints. So, we’ve decided to expand the selection. In addition to the ones shown above, the following tools have just arrived: a grafting knife, a draw knife, a folding saw, and a second, different extra large branch jack than the one shown above.

And, if you missed the first batch
The original batch of Bonsai Aesthetic tools that we brought in include a very popular five piece carving set, 8″ concave cutters, 11″ concave cutters, 8″ knob cutters, 11″ knob cutters, wire cutters, wire pliers, and inexpensive light weight, all purpose scissors.
