The term/style name that I recognize is Nejikan - Twisted-trunk, which I am into in a very big way in my little collection, so typing Nejikan bonsai into Google will give up many results, as to the process described, MUST SAY that I'm very impressive and plan to look into this with a fine tooth comb or something else whatever comes to hand.
