I'm generally opposed to the idea of branch benders (at least as I've been presented with them). No amount of padding/insulating the branches being bent can prevent the marks/scars/evidence of the branch benders.

I've received different opinions on the difficulty of this bend, but I belive its going to be a little involved. At present, notching looks to be the best option for this tree ...for the lowest bend(s). I'll likely try copper coiled around raffia coiled around copper ...but I doubt its going to bend it like I want it. I'd be happy to be surprised though.

I've also received some input suggesting the trunk would be (too?) tall and skinny. Any thoughts?
