Don't think there's much to say until some stuff sprouts out....Give it a season and start thinking about it then.

I'd also slip pot the tree into a much larger growing container, as a powerful trunk like that will demand some heavy branches to keep things in proportion. Providing more space for the roots should speed this process up. Other than that, you will have to wait to see what the tree throws out in the way of new growth, like Brian suggests.
All the best, Aaron

I would remove any branches that you do not think will be in the final tree, especially the lower ones. They are just sucking energy from the branches that you want to grow big and strong.
How is the chop healing? You may want to leave a few extras there if it is taking a while.
