I started by working on the deadwood and then I selected the branches and wired them.
As you can see I didn't finish the shaping of the tree. I left the branches long and only wired the inner parts of the branches. I did this because I want the branches to thicken quickly. When I have the desired thickness on the branches I will cut them back drasticly and start to work on the ramification.
The next step is to repot the tree when spring arrives.

Hi Justin. I don't care much about the rules, I style my trees in whatever way I feel is appropriate for that particular tree. The point for me is to make the tree look interesting.
The branches will thicken faster on a tree if you leave them to grow unrestricted. If I had cut the branches back to make the tree look better in the short run, it would take a lot longer for the branches to reach the right thickness. I will take off the wire in a couple of months when the branches has settled in it's new positions.
