Apparently I'm just posting links today. Take a look here for some good advice on how to get TO the pre-bonsai stage where you can start working on the last 10%.

http://evergreengardenworks.com/trunks.htm
http://evergreengardenworks.com/pines2.htm (particularly where he talks of "forcing")
http://evergreengardenworks.com/crabappl.htm (training young material)
http://evergreengardenworks.com/growfast.htm
http://evergreengardenworks.com/growprin.htm

Brent is one authority on growing pre-bonsai. He's also one of the most prolific writers of the pre-bonsai growers so his article catalog is fairly extensive and authoritative.
