Full Moon Japanese Maple

I just picked this beauty up at a local nursery for 75 bucks. Just wanted a few suggestions on styling. Any thoughts. Thanks, Jason.

At least you got one with a pretty good looking graft, sometimes that can be half the battle. The biggest problem you will have to work with is the two almost identical in size and placement branches. Would almost have to see it to get a better idea...have a ball with it.

Yea the first thing i noticed on it was the graft. You cant even really tell there is one. The nabari is only one sided though and not really the best, but i think it will work. I might try to approach graft to make it better. Im thinking of layering two of the branches and just keeping the right one. It seems to have the best movement. I just wanted to get some one elses opinion. I dont think i am going to go with the 6 to 1 ratio. I am thinking about making it a larger bonsai. Thanks, Jason.
