You are most welcome mate. You might want to consider shaping your deadwood now while its still green and will move. After all its dead it wont bother the rest of the tree. Here are 2 more virts. :tu:

I cannot see a problem with bringing that branch down. If you do a small undercut at the branch/trunk and guy wire it down it will be fine. I think Ants advice on working your top deadwood now is correct. Looking forward to its progress. :yes:
