Nice tree Dave,
It at first reminded me of this tree: http://crataegus.com/2009/02/25/ezo-spruce-again/
Maybe this will spark some ideas for styling later on.

Thanks for the link. That is great inspiration and a great image.
I worked on this with a friend the other night. I told him how I would approach a tree like this for a first styling. We discussed it a bit, I removed some branches while explaing to him my thought process. I wired a couple, and then I had him take over for the rest of the tree. It was the first time he truly wired a tree. I gave him some pointers along the way, and he learned quickly. It was nice for me to teach, and he enjoyed the opportunity to work on a tree like this. I am pleased with the result, especially since it was collected less then a year and half ago. It has grown very well ever since collection.
