This is the way nearly all bonsai are made. Let the tree grow until the trunk is the diameter you want, chop it at an angle and then let it back bud. Let the buds grow and train one into the new trunk. Sometimes they're chopped again. The scars from the chop heal over very slowly. This is really the only way to get taper in the trunk. Otherwise, you'll just have a straight pole.
Ok. I thought they were started from seedlings. I understand now how the trucks can get so big.

In Japan, there are a lot of rocky mountains where trees are naturally dwarfed due to lack of nutrients and unfavorable growing conditions. People dig them out and put them in pots.
