I put on just a bit of wire because most of the growth is too small yet to wire. I intend to make this a wider tree by quite a margin.
The growth here is small and a bit misshapen, which I have found to be the norm after a large cutback. Since these photos, more normal foliage has replaced the small stuff and the tree is growing well.
Update update: Here are two views of the tree today. It's growing well and I look forward to working it some more this summer.

Good work. Keep the updates coming. I have a ficus and am planning on chopping it down also, I'm very interested in seeing how yours turns out.
Hi, I see you have gather a lot of useful information for bonsai lovers. I would like to share the information I have on blog http://bonsaing.blogspot.com.
Danny,
Thanks! I have more photos of recent growth which I need to post to the blog. You can see them, though, at www.bonsaistudygroup.com! Hope to see you there, too.

I am amazed. Always enjoyed gawking at bonsais.
Imagine the tranquility of a Japanese-themed home with bonsais as the focal point, enhanced with Hokusai- or Hiroshige- traditional art prints.
