Here is an Atlantic Cedar. This was purchased, and has been previously worked on by Tien and John, from Bonsai sensation a few years ago.
During that time I have wired the upper branches and let the sacrificial branches grow and thicken the trunk. Circumference is about 4cm at a point before the nebari. After this growing season, the sacrifice branches will be removed and fine ratification will begin.

Re: Atlantic Cedar with sacrificial branches
great example of what sacrifice branches can achieve.
Pity about all the crisscrossing wire marks on the trunk though.
