I will just post a few before shots for you all to consider what you would do with this Cedar.

Sorry Peter,

Even after doing bonsai for a long time the creative juices got flowing and got the better of me. I did the whole restyle in virtually one sitting and at the start just took shots from the front, as I decided the front was still the best front.

I kept both trunks if that helps. Attached is a photo showing the complicated twists and bends of the two trunks.

I have taken plent of photos from all round of the semi finished job and I am about to undertake part two of the restyle. I will post a photo of the tree as it is now before I start the next phase.

The picture shows some nice harmony between the two trunks Grant, very natural. Thanks for posting. I am sure we are all enjoying having you here, hope you are enjoying it also.
