Looks like you're headed in the right direction with this one, Larry. Nice job.
For future reference, I'd probably prefer to use a shoot from the top side of the cascade for the new leader rather than one from the bottom. That way the chop is beneath the new leader instead of exposed for all to see, and that way you get a more realistic sort of movement: upward-growing young shoot being forced down by wind/snow/whatever, rather than young shoot magically sprouting downward of its own free will.
Best wishes,
