I'm especially intriged by the idea of layering and grafting to a cypress knee to achieve a really thick trunk with lots of taper in a short time.
I think you should graft and then layer, not layer and then graft.

The reason is that it is the growing buds will promote root growth. Since the knees don't have buds, I don't think they'll layer well until you get those grafts going.

Matt
