Restyling a cascade juniper.

Re-styling a Juniper
This weekend it was time to re-style a juniper I have had from my very first bonsai lesson with John Hanby. I chose this tree on a beginners course in 19?? and it has been growing healthily ever since without really finding a good shape or style.

Recently I have decided that this tree could be a full cascade and so it has gone into a tall pot and I have made a few unconvincing styling attempts.

Now I tried again. I started last weekend and completed the general styling this weekend.

Here are some historical photos of this tree:
