Scotts pine project

Here is another one of my free tree acquisitions, a Scotts pine. I got it as a half-dead, Christmas-tree shaped plant about four years ago. I've had precious little experience with pines, so even though it's not great material, I thought I'd try to see what I could make of it.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera then, so don't have a pic of it in original condition. The sequence below shows the tree this spring, after I'd cut off the top and changed its planting angle the previous year. The last two pics are while I've been working on it the past couple of weeks.

Comments, complaints or suggestions would be helpful. I've got to figure out what to do with that nub at the top (remainder of oricinal trunk).
