Ficus Trunk Chop Advice

I'm considering doing a trunk chop to this ficus (species unknown). I plan to try to separate (and discard) the previously cut trunk. I'll clean up the roots and repot the larger trunk. I plan to use a "V" chop to promote a broom style. After repotting, I'll make a plastic tent around the trunk to increase humidity.

This is my first attempt at such an undertaking. Any suggestions or comments? Does this trunk look like it has any potential? All suggestions are appreciated!

Barry.
