Graft is very low and as time passes and bark develops will become more an unobtrusive part of the tree. That is about as low as a graft can get.

Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa, cork bark subalpine fir, after first structural wiring. Photo from August, it’s in bed now. I’m hoping to get it in a bonsai pot in the spring, but the roots grow very slowly…
The bonsai below me is a Douglas fir

A raft from nursery material? Nope. What about a piece of nursery material that I’m considering doing an air layer and eventual raft on?

Sorry if I was not clear.
Any raft of any species excepting a nautical raft!! 
ahhh, sorry I guess you did. 
I guess I was confused that the last task was a raft and you wanted another raft. I agree, no boats but a floating bonsai could be interesting

Dying again!
So I have no raft but since it’s been too quiet I’ll just throw a tree on here. My friend’s Birch I styled for him a year ago.
The bonsai below me is a spruce!

Jade I’ve been working on for a couple years now. Thinking about lopping the top off. Looking at changing the pot to a red one, too.
The bonsai below me is in refinement for the first time this year.

Cydonia Oblonga I’ve been working on for a few years. Not the ideal container but when I acquired the tree it was planted in a shallow suiban in what was basically sand, so it was potted into this yamafusa with 100% akadama to recover. I’m planning on planting it into a shallow oval in the future.
Below me is your oldest and most refined tree in your collection.

15 year old Japanese Black Pine. Entirely container grown from a rooted cutting, given to me by a neighbor from when I lived in Houston, TX 10 years ago. I’ve been working to control its vigor for several years. It’s 9.5 inches tall from rim of the container. I plan to compress the apex this fall and get it to about 8 inches in height.
The bonsai below me is a flowering species in semi-cascade form.

This is my Wisteria. Not exactly cascading, but it is drooping.
The bonsai below me is a just budding deciduous tree.
