There's a thread graft in the front that will be cut off soon.

I thnky here are too many heavy branches on this tree. I'd shorten many of these to one node, wait for bids around the base and regrow them, eventually removing the old, straight heavy branches with smaller, wired for shape branches that have more interest and better movement..

Nice trunk and the upper branches look better than the lower ones. JMHO

Agreed! One of the lower branches is getting a thread graft and the other is supporting it. So once it takes for sure(I think it probably has), watch out! Those will get shortened and re grown with more taper and movement (like the upper branches).
