Hoggin!!What style is it??

Here is another one that I styled last year. Don't know what style you would call it. I need to get it into a smaller and shallower pot this spring. Virtual away.

Hi John,

Here's my two cents.. I bent up the lower right branch and developed it down. (if it would only be so easy in real life.. I bent up the lower middle branch, and leftmost branch. This way the design is more compact and has a left-to-right movement that I like. The only problem is the thin trunk and the strange nebari. Maybe you could mount up the soil around it, or maybe it's not strange but only looks that way on the picture ? The trunk will thicken with time. I put the tree in Tokoname pot to finish it. By the way, what is "Hoggin" ??

regards, René

Hi Rene,
I like your virt on this tree. This tree is one of those that creeps on you. The more I star at it the more I Like it.
Oh! Hoggin? I sometimes feel like I'm Hoggin the posts. Posting to many trees at once.
Thanks for the virtual.
John

wow, that first bend in the trunk suggests try wiring it into the chinese "coiled" style. you really kind of crunch the trunk and curl it up in doing that though and I'm a beginner so I don't have the first bit of advice for doing it without breaking it or hurting the layers of the wood.
