Bougainvillea Stump

This bougie stump was dug last March 2004 from my next door neighbor who was putting up a room addition. They dont have no choice but to get rid of the tree beacuse it was right in the middle of the project. I offered my service free of charge to get rid of the tree provided that i can have the stump for my new hobby. The stump was about 13 inches wide and 36 inches tall at that time. I have air layared the two branches from the top last August 2004 and then separated the branches two days ago. I have also done initial carving of the tree every now and then. The first picture is the before photo and the last 5 photo was taken this afternoon.

May i ask everybodys opinion on this to which possible front would i use for my bougie tree. I have stop carving the tree for now for further study of the possible front. Feel free to make your own virtuals and post it here so that i can compare what have i done. The bougie stump now is 11 inches wide and 17 inches tall ........ enjoy.
