Lodgepole pine advice

I recently bought a very nice lodgepole pine. It needs pruning and some wiring. I understand that it’s a single flush pine but I wasn’t able to find any specific horticultural resources related to this species as bonsai. For example when is the best time to prune and style. Does anybody have any links to specific literature that I can refer to?
Thank you!!

The Lodgepole Pine is related to the Shore Pine. Both are Pinus Contorta but different subspecies.

There have been a few streams with Shore Pine and some of differences between the two were discussed, in terms of care and whatnot.

Beautiful Lodgepole Pine by the way.
