Yea, this was my second attempt at a trunk chop and had read both angle cuts and straight cuts. My first was a straight, but my tree died, I figured I would try it angled this time (not to say my other died because I did it straight).

bonsaikc I think I will have to agree with you that straight is the way to go. Anyway not a huge setback, but I do like to do things as simple and best I can and I try to learn from my mistakes. As Einstein said "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." Well bonsai is new to me and I figure I will make plenty of mistakes! The key is don't keep doing them.

I will try to do a virt and post what I envision of this tree.
