Raudulfr Shieldcrusher treats us to an outstanding tutorial on how to put together some great looking tree's. If you would like to see how to make some for yourself follow the read more link below.

I made these:



Here is a step-by-step:

First, I gathered some wire. The larger wire is 14 gauge indoor copper building wire that was left over after a home project. The smaller wire I've had in the garage for years. I have no idea how I acquired it.
I cut the 14 guage to length and clamped the root end with a pair of vise grips. Then I twisted the wire into the shape I wanted. After I had a basic shape I added the thinner wire. I used it to build up areas and to represent the taper of natural branches.


After all the wire was in place, I started to add masking tape. I built it up in several layers and tried to get a good shape. To make it easier to wrap around the smaller branches, I cut the tape into skinnier strips.


Here you can see the detail of the tape and wire.
