Here are a few pics. The first is of my wiring. This is the primary branch. The second: He wired the 2nd branch. I wired the rest (3rd:back branch,4:back, 5: front, 6: slightly different pic of front).

I'm working thru the staggered approach to needle plucking. 1st week of june (at the workshop) pluck the lower 3rd of branches. 2nd week, the middle 3rd. The 3rd week I pluck the upper 3rd , each week leaving progressively less needles per branch.

Thats why it looks a little needle-heavy up top.

My apologies for the shadows. I'll work on getting better pictures. (My wife just called to tell me that my new Nikon D50 is on the front porch. Hopefully she brought it in.)
