Hey Craig,
Tell the tree to hurry up & recover so you can style it.. Rafts are one of my favorites..

Re: Juniper Raft
The last pic it looks like a pair of swans 
I think this is the biggest understatement ever, I have a few in planning, looked at some stock today 
I am looking forward to seeing how much is left when you finally attack them.

Re: Juniper Raft
Looking good
I love how a tree can look even more disheveled after initial wiring.... once you spend another day wiring & placing all that fine growth it will be great... bit more growing first
