Robert Steven’s second simulation of an Atlas cedar that we presented a while back. Mike’s lucky day The photo above is Robert’s second simulation of an Atlas ceder that was submitted for critique by Mike Andrews. My opinion (for what it’s worth) I think Robert’s second simulation is an improvement on the first one he did. Generally Robert’s critiques have been spot on, but I thought his original of this tree left something to be desired. Apparently Robert was reading my mind; he sent his follow up simulation yesterday. Just three more days Our current big big sale (we have … Continue reading The Second Time Is a Charm
Books, Tools, Fertilizer, Bonsai Today, Wire, Kenzans, Netuske & more. Sale ends the last day of September This is Stone Lantern’s biggest and most comprehensive sale. Almost every single item offered is discounted and some of the discounts are outrageous (Bonsai from the Wild and some other books marked down from $29.95 to $9.95). When you factor in the double discounts for volume, many of the prices are below wholesale. Not a bad deal at all. Next? Our next sale will be 30% off all tools plus 10% off orders of $100 or more. As always, other individual items will … Continue reading Only Four More Days
Morten Albek’s classic book on small bonsai is marked down from $24.95 to only $9.95. This is the only book on Shohin bonsai in English and is both beautifully photographed and thorough going in its coverage of the ins and out of styling and growing small and miniature bonsai. As we’ve already stated, we can’t do this with most books… … just the ones we published. We pay way too much for books by other publishers to reduce them this much. However, with our own books, we can do what we want; they were paid for eons ago, and though … Continue reading More Mammouth Book Discounts
One of our very best bonsai books marked down from $29.95 to $9.95. Why, you ask? Because we printed 3,000 and still have about 1,000 left. So, let’s liberate them and give you a chance to enjoy and learn from one of our best and most interesting bonsai artists. BTW: the image above gives you a glimpse into the inner workings of a publishing company. This isn’t the cover we ended up with. We changed the color from blue to green and the main heading to gold. Otherwise, everything is the same. We can’t do this with most books… … … Continue reading Mammoth Book Discounts
Another shot from the 2nd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibit (here for a post from a few days ago). This one (and the last one in this post) was sent to us by Bill Valavanis; the tireless man behind the whole wild and wonderful thing. Big, big, big book sale at Stone Lantern Just trying to squeeze this in to drum up a little business. Mid-summer always requires some extra effort. All the way from Japan. Kunio Kobayashi was not the only famous visitor (and in this case, judge), but he’s the only one with the title ‘Grand Master’ before his … Continue reading More Shots (& Big, Big, Big Book Sale)
Nice trunk. Definitely looks like an azalea. The shot is from a video by Alejandro Medina Ibarra of the 2nd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition. Alejandro Medina Ibarra The shots here are all from a video of the 2nd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition. The video is by Alejandro Medina Ibarra and it’s brilliant. I wasn’t able to attend, so I’m particularly grateful for Alejandro’s efforts. Something powerful and good took place in Rochester last month if this video is any indication. Really, check it out and you too will wish you’d been there (see you in 2012). Bill Valavanis I’m not … Continue reading Shots from the 2nd U.S. Bonsai Exhibition
A new shipment of Charles Ceronio’s Bonsai Styles of the World just arrived after a prolonged hiatus.

Warehouse closed until Monday We’ll resume shipping on Monday, July 12th. Don’t wait to order though, as orders will go out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Not too many I try not to clutter Bonsai Bark with too many Stone Lantern promos, still, selling books, tools and the other stuff is how we make our living, and that’s necessary and good.

Including 17, the famous transplanting issue (we only have 3, so don’t wait).
