I have created a new page for Before and After Bonsai Trees under Bonsai Basics. Felipe Dallorto has produced two videos showing his work on a variety of trees. He shows them before he does anything and then after he is finished working on them. Felipe is a very talented Master Bonsai artist that lives in Brazil. These videos should be able to give you some ideas on how to style a raw tree that you might know what to do with.
