I am answering your questions. As you were vague about what you were aiming for, I tried to find out. you confirmed that what I posted was what you're looking for and that's not bonsai.
Now, you posted a different picture so that makes things more clear. However, that's still not bonsai. And it's not a spiraled, fused trunk.
Fusing trunks is done, in bonsai, to create a thicker trunk more quickly. That's possible.
Here's some information, from this very website:

As well the very specimen I have shared has a spiral/curved ideal shape and on this very site specimens with this shape are shown and referred to as bonsai under the popular trees section.
I have already prepared some cuttings and stimulated them with hormone, hopefully they take well. As for updates, maybe but unlikely as growing, manipulating and managing (through pruning and wiring), a tree in a small restricted space under 4 feet in high is appearantly not bonsai according to some.
Thank you for your input...

I'm just a visitor to this site, I'm not responsible for what they publish.
If you want to grow bonsai, first learn what a good bonsai is, and don't take a mallsai as example.
Next, do a bit of searching on this forum. If you start a new hobby, it's a good idea to do at least a bit of research and try and find how things work.
