Looks great Jeremy.

I'd be doing both, open up the carving AND grow the second trunk!

Without the second trunk it will just be a "good" tree, with the 2nd executed correctly I think it can be "great".
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Just to throw my hat in the ring, the tree is coming along really well. I think the second trunk adds a lot of interest and in my opinion it would be a real shame to see it go!

Keep up the good work!
