Tidy up the excess root wires by trimming it closest to the frame (fig. 10a, 10b, 10c).

Step 11 of 21
This is last step for the root section.
Spread the root cage evenly across the surface of your brown gemstone with an awl (fig. 11a, 11b, 11c).
Step 12 of 21
For top half of the frame, create a tree branch by twisting a small wire bundle with a nylon jaw pliers (fig. 12a, 12b, 12c).
Untangle the twisted wire for a crooked branch design (fig. 12d).
Continue to coil the bare main frame from the root section with the loose branch wire (fig. 12e, 12f).
Then, coil the remaining tree branches onto the main frame as shown (fig. 12g, 12h, 12i, 12j).
