Did a bit of cleanup and whitening of the deadwood. I confess I haven't spent much time with the clean up of bark in ANY junipers in my 15 plus years in bonsai. I am extremely conservative with this tree. I don't want to harm the health so I am reluctant to fool around with the live veins and risk going too deep. Here is a video:

Man, what a beauty. I think I'd be waiting just as long to get cracking on this as well for fear of stuffing it right up! Have you got a design in mind yet?

I'm just going to work on building up the foliage for the next few seasons and let the tree suggest the rest. Of course it's presenting as a semi cascade. I kind of dubbed it "The Archer" as something about it reminds me of of a bow hunter drawn down towards a target below.
