I would make a chop to start from that bottom left branch in the 1st pic for a slanted style and leave the lower right branch for now at least. Instead of incorporating those 3 or 4 bigger branches at the top I would use them to make a few more trees instead. If I decided to keep 1 of them it would be the thickest in the middle to wire as the apex. I'm not highly experienced but that's what I envision if it were mine20230527_204522.jpg
