"Sacajawea" - Japanese Maple

Not sure if this is twisted trunk, literati or what. Regardless, it is being housed in a peace of dead wood. See how easy it can be to create attractive bonsai? This was a no-brainer.

I also like to take three or so Japanese Maple starts from 1inch pots and braid them, then wrap thin copper wiring at a 45° angle to where the leaves start, then bend and style as desired.
