Alright, full peak ahead!
Repotted the tree into a bonsai pot today. Let's hope it survives.

VERY well done.

Thank you sir. Not 100% satisfied with the pot, might change it in a year or 2... or 3... or 4...

Awesome. I like the creepiness of the pot, I think it mates well with the spookiness of the exposed roots. A little shallower perhaps would be preferable but it looks cool. A few years out once you get a chance to develop the branching this thing will be great.

Played with a couple more trees, after cuttin the candles in June I went a little further today.
Tree 1, while having an ok lower trunk with good branching I decided to develop this one into a bigger tree:
Tree 2, this one is going to be a short fat one

Nice work. In tree #1, how would you compare the spine wiring method with raffia to traditional coil wiringPlayed with a couple more trees, after cuttin the candles in June I went a little further today.

With traditional coil wiring you can't bend a trunk this size very far or it would break.
The rafia keeps it from breaking since it supports the entire surface of the trunk. But you have to use it in combination with guy wires.
The bending I've done here isn't that drastic, I've seen examples where people bend it 180° without the trunk breaking (using rafia that is).

As an addition to my previous reply, if you use rafia and coil wiring together you can work miracles too
