its a perfect trunk for literati style with alot of lower jins. anything else i see would involve some some serious bending techniques

This tree looks similar. Perhaps you can get inspiration from it.

Hm.. It could be just me, but this tree is also still very much away from a styled bonsai. looks a lot like the rough material pine Mike Jones just sold this weekend:

I agree with the others, the tree posted above here does look untrimmed.

It just needs pads development and to bring the foliage closer to the trunk...needs some trimming too but the basic idea is there.

Wow. That's a nice pine you bought. I wish I could come across gems like that. I also agree with all the other replies. A snip here and a bend there and PRESTO, your on your way to creating a beautiful bonsai.
