hi john 
i will be interested to see the tree when you finish have you thought about lowering one of the trunks a little more? i look forward to see how you go about getting them closer together too, looks like a turn buckle will be a little big, what ya could use though is the mini turnbuckles that get used in balustrading for the stainless wires

Impressive work John! Can't wait to see how it finishs up after your drink. Perhaps tomorrow when your sober...? 
I know that's the first thing that comes to my mind after a few... BONSAI!! Not a good idea.
Picked up a set the other day, work great!
