thank you both for responding. after posting this thread, i went back outside to further examine the two junipers. i repotted one in a new position realizing that a cascade style would work well with it. with this new plan i would not need branching where i was originally wanting it. during the repot i also went ahead and put a wire tourniquet just below the lowest branch which was a problem in my original design and has now become a sacrifice branch. i'm hoping to develop a strong nebari just below that branch which is the thickest part of the trunk.

as for the other tree, i'll wait until winter to perform any grafting. who knows, by then i may see it in a new light as well.
by the way, i attended the local club meeting tonight and came across that issue of bonsai today. when i pay my dues and actually become a member i'll check it out.

thanks again guys!
