Twisting California Juniper

This California Juniper was collected in the mid 1970's by Harry Hirao, aka "Mr. California Juniper". My first sensei, Bob Kato bought it from Harry. When Bob died 20 some years ago, I bought it from his widow. At that time, no work had been done on it, so I started from scratch.
This is one of those rare trees where the trunk and live vein makes a full 360 degree twist. The height from the pot rim is 41 inches.
Today I've been doing some trimming, a little wiring, cleanig up the live vein and applying lime sulfer to the dead wood. The long term plan is to have it show ready by next spring.

Nice tree Mike.
Big!
Beautiful base with the live vein.
Just curious....what do you think?
This was a pretty big pot.
