To make the top more compact, some branches are bent using a
screw-based clamp that tightens slowly and then they are held in
place by a guy wire. In this case, I chose not to cover the branch with
raffia because the bend was already pronounced and the gap in the
bend had only to be closed a little. (17–19).

In the following step, all branches are wired in so they can be set
into the desired position. Massimo pays close attention to the size
of the wire used, so that it’s suitable to the thickness of the branch.

While Massimo finishes the wiring of the lower part, I start to style
the crown. The branch tips are directed upwards and grouped to
form dense pads. (22 & 23).
