Just wanted to share my thunderhead pine . Nothing special , 4 inches at the nebari 25 inches tall from top of pot . Yes its grafted but was a 35.00 purchase . I enjoy working on it . Classic bonsai of course not . Needs some wiring and cleaning out .

Graft has healed nicely. Basic framework is there. Nicely done.

Its due for its late autumn, or winter wiring out. If it were mine I would wire out the secondary branches on each of your branches, to lay out your branches. You don't want the foliage pads to be totally flat but they need to be layed out some and now is a good time to do it. Your main branches seem to be more or less in the right places. Hard to tell from photos.

All in all quite nice. You have a good eye.
