Here is a tree I picked up from Bonsai South not long ago. Such an amazingly reliable source of high quality healthy stock!
Here are a few before and progress shots.
I've done something slightly unconventional with the Shari and I'm not entirely happy with it yet... Still more work to be done.
Feedback welcome.

Re: Styling a juniper
What great stock to work with. This looks more like yamadori than nursery stock, which is a good thing.
Lots of complexity there, and I like what you've done with it. The dead wood adds to the design significantly in my opinion, and it will only look better with age. I kind of like the first after photo, is this just a side view? A few years of refinement and this will be a cracker.
Thanks for sharing, please keep updates rolling!
