Nice choice. You can rarely go wrong with a Lang pot, either on esthetics or construction. He's excellent at both.

Thats a nice virt. You're really good with that! What program do u use? Me personally have totally gone from chinese pots, those with characters, etc to really plain ones. Even some designer ones like certain Raynor pots are too much for me because i want the tree to really shine but i did repot my natal plum (the daughter of the Hanna one) into a chinese pot just like his (he had an empty matching one that he sold me two years ago).

The tricks in making verts are as follows:
Format your original to be some size that works on your computer. My software is early 2000's Corel, so modern stuff can handle bigger pixel loads, but I'm limited to 15k. So, I capture your screenshot and lock "maintain aspect ratio" (which keeps the picture in proportion when I change the either the height or the width, the other axis changes in the same proportion). I reformat to 8" high x (it defaults in proportion).
The same default system is needed in the number of pixels (dots per inch). I change the number on pixels (dpi) for the height and the other axis defaults to the same number so the picture stays in proportion. The total number of pixels must be lower for me than X x Y = <15k, or the program won't let me proceed.
Same this reformatted image as file name New 1 and New 2. Adjust the two tree pictures to small enough to sit side-b-side on your screen. After you recombobulate the pot picture,keep that on your screen, too. You will be switching back-and-forth between the 3.
Capture a pot image, reformat it to be some size such that when you capture it after reformat it is the proper size paste on New 1. This is usually an adventure. I start by formatting the pixels to be the same number of pixels dpi as New 1 & 2. Now, when you capture it and paste it you can gauge making it bigger or smaller than it should be to be in proportion to the tree. Only change the length or width and always leave the number of pixels alone. That will maintain the aspect ratio between the two kinds pictures, pot & tree. Once you get the right ratio, now you can cut & paste use the "Freehand Selection Tool" instead of the ordinary selection tool that automatically captures a box shape of sorts. With freehand you can follow the outline of a shape all the way around 360° and capture irregular shapes. Now you can paste that and see what you need to adjust.
There is a tool that is a "filler". You can choose a color and fill in any area with the chosen color.

I'm having trouble with this post. I have reformatted it into a pdf file as attached

@Mayank nice procumbens. Hope you're happy with its' new home 
I have to share one concern though.
Took quite the setback. I saw the buds starting to plump early March and began making a wooden pot for it
and swore I'd never repot a juniper in March again in my grow zone. Yours may be going into it stronger than mine was
but I also read the same idea here...scroll down to repotting.

Congrats on the new pot!

mid April-May. I repotted my procumbens cascade mid March 2018 and lost the entire year waiting on growth.

The PDF worked. Thank you for taking the time. That is quite a complex procedure but I'm going to try and figure it out when I'm in isolation for a few weeks! All bars, restaurants, salons, theatres and gyms closed 3 pm yesterday indefinitely in MI. Oh dear, did I place bars first and gyms last? Must've been a Freudian slip hehehe.

Thanks @Japonicus that site was informative and had some really nice trees! Hope this early repotting doesn't hurt it. I think the key is to not let the roots freeze at this time. Perhaps I will shift it to warmer digs, eg my unheated garage till really warmer weather? What do you think @vancehanna ?@Mayank nice procumbens. Hope you're happy with its' new home

I think that trying to short-cut the weather is a bad idea, as a rule. I wait until my weather is suitable for me.
