In this video, I show a bonsai technique to help heal over wounds on the trunk. I am working on a European Hornbeam, which needs defoliating and some winter pruning, before carving open the deadwood and folding down the live bark and cambium onto the wood.

Tools I recommended in this video:
The tools are a Dremel Lite cordless (rechargeable) and a Bosch Rotary Professional "GRO" + L-Boxx Case, 2 Li-ion batteries and charger. You can see them at Amazon at these links:
Dremel Lite (US) - https://amzn.to/3fDt0Ms
Dremel Lite (UK) - https://amzn.to/3fFRTr0
Dremel Lite (DE) - https://amzn.to/31GLfII
Bosch GRO (UK) - https://amzn.to/3wjdWJX
Bosch GRO (DE) - https://amzn.to/2R4asuF
These links take you to Amazon with my affiliate ID. So if you click then decide to purchase the tool, you are also buying me a coffee without costing you any extra! Thank you.
I have both tools, but to help you decide: the Dremel is lightweight and great for simple carving jobs of up to 30 minutes. The Bosch is more powerful, and the li-ion battery lasts over an hour, so it is my tool of choice. However, the Bosch is also bigger and heavier, and more expensive than the Dremel Lite.
