Malpighia coccigera #001 : Part II

This is the part II of Malpighia coccigera #001 : Starting a bonsai from nursery stock

Part I here
Part III here

Quick recap : This is a progression of a nursery stock that I am using in a current online competition.
The target is to start with a raw evergreen material.
In part I, I just made a basic re-potting.
Since then there has been two growth cycles.

First Growth Cycle

Another sketch I made and more or less what I'm aiming for.

The tree has pulled some new growth.

Detailed progression of the wiring

Wiring the main trunk.

Wiring side branch that was going in the wrong direction.

When I repotted initially there was this branch that was going in the opposite direction.
Time to set it right.

Removed several branches that were nearly parallel or not necessary for the end design.

Several more wiring later...

Second Growth Cycle

One of the main focus of this design is the exposed roots.
Initially they were completely white, but since they have been exposed to the elements [ sun, wind, water/rain ] they have been ageing nicely from my point of view.

Before:

Right now:

Following the second flush of growth, I also had to do some cleaning up.
The new growth was all over the place... even on the roots and lots of bespoke wheel branches growth.

That's it for now.
Sorry about bad quality of the last pictures :(
