Juniper - initial styling

This is a 2006 garden collected juniper (sergenti I believe).
Most of the dead wood was in existance due to a borer beetle infestation and the associated wood-rot, most of which has been removed in the process of accentuating the grain.



Here is the tree after the initial styling and potting-up:
All comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Great start Justin...

The foliage is starting to fill out quite nicely now - May 2010


And still further - July 2010

Possible angle change to create better movement.


This is where I see it going...
Removing the short thick jin at the top-left bend as well as a little of the dead-wood to the top-right bend, as I think this will enhance the movement and create better balance.


I would be interested in your opinions...
