Trees can be used in scenes or as stand alone wall sculptures, whether in groupings or individually. You can take some of these trees that would be fitting for a casual setting and produce a tree or trees that fit perfectly into a formal setting. These trees also work well for offices and conference centers. Also included is how to make two tools that you can use while making the trees and also for other sculptures. One tool is a small parts leverage bender. An oxygen acetylene torch and the ability to braze are the main requirements for accomplishing these projects.
