My expereince with JBP is with free grafts and approach grafts. The graft described above is a variant of the approach graft but it requires the branch to be bent so sharply that it may break it.
Matt's comments are right on. Grafting to a corky bark trunk can be a chore because the vascular layers are tough to align and to recognize in the older materials.
Good luck.
