Greeting!
Attached are photos of an odd shaped bonsai which i grabbed from a nursery. Would appreciate if any of the hobbyist can share with me some idea how to shape this bonsai.

do you know the species? The only thing you can really do now is let it grow. Trunk and branches.... At some point in time, I would either try to bend the thinnner trunk away from the thicker (it is growing towards it), or try and get a new leader that grows in that direction.

Quite interesting.
The main problem in my opinion is the primary trunk turning to the inside, instead of outside of the line of the tree, above the chop scar.
Let the secondary branches grow and then think about the design possibilities, there are some with this base.
