How to style maple was created by Xtra

I am new to 名媛直播 and have just purchased a maple and some wire. Could anyone suggest how I could go about styling it? I am finding the “double trunk” a bit hard to work out. Thanks very much.

without a picture it is impossible to tell anything.
But-in general- i suggest you start with keeping your tree alive for a year ( which is already hard enough for some people and use that year to learn about horticulture ( first) and bonsai, specifically what to do when

Apologies, it looks like the file I attempted to attach was to large. Please find the photo of the maple.

Are you in the southern hemisphere? if not, your plant is dead.
If so: what you have is a very very young maple ( 3 years max) that is way too young to do anything bonsai-ish on. My advice is to plant it in the ground and forget about it for a few years.
Btw: you want to make a double trunk of it, this sapling has only one trunk...?

I mean how it splits into 2 branches mid way up. Ok thanks, I guess I will plant it and come back in a couple years :P I might have to get a bigger stock plant so I can practice wiring in the mean time.

If it was mine I’d wire it into a s shape trunk but I know people are going to disagree with me but that’s my opinion
