Well, here is the ugly thing, with the infamous graft with a chopstick inserted.
I hope I can do better, aiming for a shohin.

Nice plant. I would say that your chop stick is not a chopstick, but the original plant, where it was trimmed.

Unfortunately it is a chopstick. I have sanded it down, tinted it a little, but it is a chopstick that was used to hold the cambiums together when it was grafted...

Will you carving out?

Aw.. and a question. How this species heals and decay after carving? I know it’s not the coolest on deciduous trees, but sometimes the only solution, like Uro.

Yes, I will carve it out eventually.
I really don't know, but I've seen Elms with jin, shari and uros (not that I like them on deciduous, but sometimes it is the only way to disguise an ugly feature).

Just make it as low as you can withou creating a hollow. Then cut the bark all around off for a mm thin strip. That will activate the cambium to start healing again. Add some cutpaste on top, get the plant to grow strong and in a season or 2 the chopsticksite will be closed.

Just wait till I add a little glitter and stars into mine!

Really neat solution
I’m still curious about carving elms if someone have ref links.

I would say.. Look at Will baddeley's work. He has some nice elms that he carved.

Mine will win. I am going to surprise everyone with my solution, I can tell. Can you say cascade?
