Is it ok to approach graft a still green shoot such as this? Or should I wait for it to turn woody? Thanks!

Good question, I plan to attempt one next year on my Hornbeam. ....so I'm listening to advice too.
Is that Acer Rubrum?

It is. This one.
Graft will be in the upper left, right under the chop. I was originally thinking thread graft, but maybe approach grafting it would be better.

I like the trees nice simple bones....will make a nice tree.

Both will work. The thread graft is a better choice aesthetically in my opinion. Approach grafts are simpler to prepare for in my experience, however the scar is more difficult to conceal and the results can be less predictable.

Both green and older woody shoots will graft. Just be careful cutting the back of the green one. They are soft and very easy to cut right through.
