Here is a redwood I bought at the REBS member sales area. It was quite boring, and the foliage was much too tall. I cut it down about 1' and wired it (sorry, no before pics). Then I carved it much further and burned the inside. The uninteresting deadwood area is now a key feature of the tree, and closely resembles what you would find in nature in the redwood forests of California and Oregon. So, which do you like better?
