I recently visited my teacher, Nick Lenz, and took home a few bonsai and some developing material. The trees (below) are all between 22" and 30" tall. These are all Nick's work; I have done nothing but remove some of the downward-pointing foliage from the first shimpaku pictured below.
I apologize for the very poor quality of the photos and the setting (in my nursery), but I hope you enjoy them. I am certainly enjoying the trees.
Juniperus chinensis. This juniper was grown from a cutting taken from Wm. Valavanis' yatsubusa stock in 1970. Nick grew it in the ground for 30 years and put into a container around 2000.
Acer buergerianum. This maple was taken as raw material from Jerry Stowell in 1997 and then grown in the ground. It has been in a container since 2007.
Lonicera. This honeysuckle was taken from the yard of one of Nick's friends. This is but half of the plant that was collected. The trunk is 8" wide and the root base is 14" wide. Note that Nick has carved a face into the shari of the trunk, giving this bonsai the appearance of a walking tree-man, complete with arms, horns, and feet.
Juniperus chinensis. The trunk on this material (not yet a bonsai) is J. virginiana collected from the Sunderland cliffs in 1995. Then shimpaku from Wm. Valavanis' yatsubusa stock was grafted onto the top. The single live vein runs up the left side of the fin shari. One day this will be a nice bonsai.
Pinus sylvestris. This Scots pine was originally from Musser Forests in 1973 and was grown in the ground. It put into a container in 2000.
Juniperus virginiana. Nick collected this red cedar from the Sunderland cliffs in 1995. It is still very early in its development and still reaching to find its form. It is quite old, but not yet a mature bonsai.
