Brilliant, thanks! I suppose I best wait for late winter/early spring.
The tony tickle video's i mentioned will help you figure out the best time to work the tree

yep, taper is good on this one. Only the apex has to grow and i have to decide the hight of it. That will be next year i hope.Nice work ruben !
Looks like the tree has great taper

Perhaps it will be a bonsai in 2056 i'm aiming at around 1/4 trunk base/ height. Guide lines, spoke a lot about them with teachers.Some say 6x trunk diameter is best height but you probably know that already
As always...
Next year

I like holes too, Will taught me a way too make nice ones. All dead wood on this one is done by hand.You can always drill holes in place of another feature you don't like. I like holes. Holes rock. Tree bellybuttons!
You are right about the crossing jins. Jins are obvious attractors in a design and in this case they seem to draw into each other creating a conflicted design that cannot be accounted for by gravity, avalanche, or the vagaries of the winds. If the tree were mine and I wish it was, I would seriously shorten the long jin on the first right trunk. I would cut it almost in half. It looks to me like there is another larger trunk behind everything else that could be reduced. I would also consider changing the planting angle so that it inclines to the right about another 30*.First styling on this one. Still doubt about a few branches and the crossing jins.
