Bro/Idol,
Congrats You really deserve it!!! Bravo !!!

Just an update IBC.

The tree matured well after 20 months or so. and thriving very well in the thin slab.
Secondary branches are free of wires now. more on directional branch pruning from here on.

This is great work Jun, I am sure that most have no idea how difficult creating a convincing windswept bonsai is. Well done my friend  

Thanks Tony!

Yes, I think windswept is not as easy compared to other designs. You cannot play safe in this design, by play safe I mean just creating bonsai with lot of foliage here and there or the 1,2,3 branches. That's why I like this style and find it challenging. I'll update this thread from time to time, because maturity of tree and branches is one of the key in good windswept.
