To add to what Hec said so well I would advise to practice on some other stock to get the hang of the tools and technique before attempting to work on the main tree. Do it in stages allowing it to dry down a bit before doing more.

Remember - this will be an accent to the plantings not the main feature. When in doubt do less. You can always go back and do more after a while. Subtleness is key.

Best of luck!
