There is a first time for everything

TAE Tree - Copper wire tree

It is the first time I am working on a project of this size.  I think it is going to be called Globe Maple - as Canada makes international waves around the world.

This picture can help you see a little of the process - twisting the wires to create a branching effect.

David.
