nice stock mate, looks like ya gonna need some raffia and some 5-6mm wire for this puppies trunk
look forward to seeing what ya do. remember to try and slant the tree and look at it from all angles before doing anything to it. pick a nice line or envisiage a nice line from a chosen side and sketch it out if you have to

although i do like the height to trunk width ratio, and in my next post i think ill pick the line from the few fronts (that i haven't even considered properly yet) to choose from.
check the shadow on the wall, the straight bit does move a little
ahhhh so it does
if you can get that to work for ya then you might not have to chop...
just build an apex and maybe a secondary if it allows ya too

Picking your viewing angle is usually determined by root movement, in Bunjingi it is not as much a concern. Not to say it is not important.
Round pots that are the usual for Bunjingi allow you to have more than one preferred viewing angle. If it is good enough all teachers will tell you if you have this problem you have succeeded.
Good luck
