Tidal Bonsai

I have been scouring nurseries for about a month looking for something worth while for Shohin. Today I thought I found the one. It is a Taxus densiformis that I noticed good backbudding, a thicker trunk (about an 1.25 inches where the soil was at Loews) low slender branching, and it even had a Shari on the base of the trunk that I thought would give it some interest. All at only $15.
Once I got under the hood, it was a different story...
The nebari was over 2 inches under the soil level, and only had two prominent roots. The Shari ended up being a giant scar that gave me taper issues. I am good at carving, so I can do something creative with it once I figure it out. For now I am leaving it outside and revisiting the tree when I have an idea what I will do with it. Any ideas? These are the two best fronts that I can see.
