grape vine Bonsai. He's the man!!!

This was the only chance i had ... friends were moving, so don't tell
me to collect them in the spring ... no chance!
Anyway, both are 1.5 - 2" diameter, old old wood with actively growing
vines.
I took as many feeder roots as i could, repotted them in a sandy
organic mix, and i've cut them back to just a couple of leaves. They
are in 3 gal tall nursery containers in the shade.
Questions: the old leaves are all full of small holes, is this a pest
i need to stop?
The trunks have lots of rotting wood parts to them ... what can i do
to stop the rot?
The bark and 'trunk' is spectacular! can i air-layer to get more
trees?
