[Boics] Fraxinus / Ash

Was just looking over my tree's in their Spring growth and this one caught my eye as it is finally starting to resemble a Shohin Bonsai.
It's been slowly coming along and I thought I'd share some steps of the journey to today.
Shortly I'll defoliate again, removing terminal buds to encourage further ramification and reduced leaf size (as per Grant's advise).
This process will also be used to temper growth or encourage elongation/thickening of branches for perspective.
If I remember I'll add a photo after defoliation and wiring.
