Putting the Ancient into the Tree

[Vin]

Thought I would share an updated pic I took tonight, 5 months on from the pic I posted with the opening of the thread. Coming along nicely... starting to look for a pot for it. At the time of reducing at down from the growing container I had no clue of what size pot I was going to be able to actually get it into. I removed about 95 percent of the roots and the current pot was the only thing I had on hand, so in it went!

It is looking really nice. However, my eye is immediately drawn to the three dead roots that droop out of the left side of the trunk. I wonder if they would look better shortened a bit or maybe carved to look more rotted? They're just not that interesting in their current state in my opinion. The rest of the tree is incredibly interesting.
