Karl, you did a great job styling these oaks. I am otherwise a fan of the naturalistic approach, but the first rule must always be to adapt the styling to fit each individual tree. I especially like oak no. 2.

weeijk, I would advise you to cut back hard this spring and then wire the branches. Here is also a quick virt of the "final" image.
There is a nice oak growing near my home looking somethig like this (but better of cause), I might take a foto and show here later.
