Most of the branches are wired now, and the final bending will take place. I try to bend the branches into place with one movement, rather then bending the branch back and forth a million times. This is a critical time for pines here in Fresno, since the bark is floating on a layer of sap just under the surface.

Only try the twisting motion if you know what you are doing, or you may kill the whole branch.
