If the tree you have showed is the tree you are working on, I would seriously recommend finding a local knowledgable person to help you with the tree. You can very easily ruin a tree by not knowing the right technique and timings, which would really a waste with the material you have there. Find a good local bonsai artist to help you, show you how to care for it, how to prune etc. Otherwise risk is big that you will do more damage than improve the tree.

Will do. There is a local bonsai club. I don't know if anyone in it is knowledgeable. I'll find out.

Trully an ideal bonsai specimen. I would agree with the others. Get an expert opinion first or at least research it extesivly on the internet.

You see bonsai is as complicated or as easy as you make it. However, the techniques employed are mathematically precise and should be rehearsed like a surgery.

Perhaps if you have a friend who tends bonsai then the two of you could trim it together. Sometimes having two people together works well when dealing with complex issues.
