When you are working on the live veins of your junipers you need to be able to lift the old, faded bark. You need to do so carefully or you will damage the live cambium beneath.

These tool rolls have been made with very tough and hardwearing, washable cotton fabric. The flaps prevent the tools from falling out of the roll and also protect the tips of tools such as bonsai trimming scissors and jin chisels. Many people use tool boxes or tool caddies.

The tool roll is rolled up from the left and the ropes provided are then loosely tucked in to prevent the roll from opening up once again, until the tools are needed.
