Here are my random thoughts -

If you want a lot of large trunks, collecting and air layering are your best bets.

I spend a lot of time working on the root crown and trunk line of potential bonsai material, cleaning up wounds and cutting back.

Ramification itself is a tricky deal. If you consider a developing pine branch has twice as many candles every year you prune it, you will soon find out that there never IS enough time, and maybe a bonsai collection should be getting smaller over time, not larger.
