Hey there Neighbor
I personally wouldn't worry about wrapping the trunk with raffia. If you are going to do some extreme bending then yes, but not with what you explained. As for wire size, I would use #4 or #6. You may need to double up the wire, not sure though since I haven't seen the tree in person. If you want to get the best copper wire I have ever used go to jimgremel.com and tell him I sent ya. Good guy, best wire and best pricing.
Nice potensai material, good find.
Also, I agree with creating a new leader....
Keep in touch, Jason
