This tree has been growing Realy well!
In June I went on and did a little more carving to the dead part of the trunk
The idea is to make the bulge a partly hollow trunk
The roots below the dead side seem to be alive since there was a leaf popping out of what I assumed to be dead but will find that out for sure if I'm gonna repot it next year
I first drilled a hole with a drill down to the bottom where I want it to start the hollowing on that side but there is another reason, rain will get in and go trough the hollow exiting at the bottom causing it to get wet dry wet dry to make the hollowing beside carving also a natural Proces.
Then I started to open op the trunk with my dremel from the front in a curved v shape to give it some dimension and also to carve some wood away at the inside for now I will nature do its thing for a couple years since this tree needs allot of development anyway so I got time and hey who makes the pretties deadwood? Still mother nature
Here are some (bad) detail pics of the process I'll try to add a better Pic of the whole tree tomorrow

Drilling the first hole:
Some more drilling done and carved the trunk open a bit rest is up to mother nature
