Quit screwing with it.
Winter is coming and it needs it's best health for that obstacle.
haha you’re right! not to worry, it’s tucked against my house, north wall, unscathed!

I agree with the concept of not making the jin too long but it is easier to reduce its size than trying to make it bigger.I like it but would not make the top jin so long.
yes, my thoughts exactlyI agree with the concept of not making the jin too long but it is easier to reduce its size than trying to make it bigger.

Grand fir, Abies Grandis.You may be right! I’ve been told that by others as well. The needles are quite short, with 2 white lines on the underside. I used this resource to identify: http://nwconifers.com/info/overview.htm

i'd do the same as you, maybe with a flatter crown
Not sure i'd do a shari, because your bark is mature, good looking, and there is a risk that the result isn't very natural looking
I like your idea but I would offer an option that you might like. Larch air layer quite well I would suggest layering off the top half of the tree then jinniung it down to make the effect you have shown.i'd do the same as you, maybe with a flatter crown

@Atom#28 can't help at all with your tree, just stoping to say hi to a neighbor. I'm 45 min north of CDA in the idaho panhandle.
Nice seeing someone from.my neck of the woods. I plan on heading north soon as I can in search of a larch.
The styling idea you have for the bottom portion of the tree is great, imo.
The top half is going to difficult. I would certainly choose the branch going to the right as the trunkline and jin off that bulb etc to the left. The difficulty, as I see it, is that branch is basically at a 90 degree angle from the lower trunk. You may be able to reduce this angle at some point with the use of raffia and some rebar. But as it stands, it's very jarring.
