So the remedy was to enhance the spiral and at the same time not disturb too much the sap flow. Here the result after 30 minutes work. I am definitely sure that the pine will not mind much and become a very nice elegant bonsai eventually.

the pine with the knob
This is a collected and well established Austrian black pine, Pinus nigra Austriaca. It was part of a trade yesterday. Apparently noone other than me wanted it. This is a nice tree with an interesting big knob in the trunk. Or is it just ugly? After closer inspection it looked like a spriraling trunk which has built this knob after many years.
