I bought this Juniper as raw stock from Boon a couple of years ago. We struggled with how to deal with the big single branch that came off the side of the tree, we had sort of decided on one side over the other, carved it, and were preparing to style it. When Boon said a friend of his, Akio Konda, was coming to visit and was doing a couple of workshops. I spent two days doing the workshop, and we ended up with a solution for dealing with the sole single branch being bent over 120 degrees, and a soultion for placing foliage in front of the branch to hide it next year when a greater level of styling occurs.
The common joke among my friends in the bay area was that this was a good source of firewood, however I don't think they will now....
