AusBonsai

I played around last night for about 3 hours and this was the end result.
Not as exciting and beautiful as others on here, but I like it.
I didn't want to feel like I was wasting most of the plant and only use 1 branch so I wired up 2 and made a Jin with the 3rd.

Please, all comments and constructive criticism welcome.

Cheers - Craig

Another shot.

Hey craig, to create flow in the composition this is what i would do.

I was thinking of something like that but thought it may look funny with both branches going at similar angles.

Craig if you want a Bonsai, what Anttal has suggested will give you a better chance than your design.

Yours is going in two direction like a couple of people fighting.

Twin trunk trees need to flow together with one being smaller than the other, both in height and girth of trunks.

Hi Craig,
Just to confirm what you have already been advised the two trunks should flow together from the base and one should be much shorted than the other.

Thanks heaps for all the replies and input.
Looking at it now I can see how it is looking awkward. I will have another go at shaping it and post another pic later.

Cheers - Craig.

Just a quick cut and few bends.
Didn't want to force the branches to much.
It does look much better now I think.
Anymore input?

Cheers - Craig.

Hi Craig,
Your juniper looks so much better, if you could get the trunk lines to follow each other right from the base it would improve it even more.
Well done
Craig
