I have alot of those. Mind you this is from a two dimensional photo and I am not sure about some cuts because I can't see around corners.
I am really trying to get away from tapered tridents. If there is any way I can spread them out, I feel it is worth pursuing. While this trunk is not top notch, it is worth working with. I think a respectable tree is in there. I think I am using your no. two photo.
The red lines are of course chops. seal well. The one with cross hatching on it is because the shape is weird and I wanted you to understand what I was trying to do. Keep the smaller part and get rid of the mass.
The one with an arrow, kind of a back branch is hard to see. I would take this one back to a viable bud. It is too long and straight with out taper and it should be improved.
Will be interesting to see where you take it. Good for you with the roots. Skip the hormone next time. I think hormone on some species actually hinders rather than helps.
